Tranny Swap...

Has anyone here ever attempted or known anyone who has swapped their 2g talon or eclipse's transmission with a neons? i have a fwd talon whose third and fifth gear synchros are bad. i want to get it fixed but i would rather just swap the tranny with a newer one than deal with fixing the enternals. this is where i found the swap idea:

its under FAQ, then click on "manual tranny". im was just curious about this i only want to save the most money i can. if its not worth it tell me because i can get a good tranny that will fit my car for about $800.

thanks everyone!

It is worth it and if your looking at neon trannies try to find a R/T neon trannie because they come with 3.93 gears and your talon i believe comes with 3.55. It shouldn't be that hard considering that your car is already standard

will fabricating new mounts be hard? also would it be worth it to have lower gears since theoretically that would lower top speed?!

yes it would have a lower top speed but it would be real nice accelerating to that speed :D

You need to use the neons trannie mounts, those gears(3.93) should take you up the !50. Thats what ive heard

sweet! im definately going to start looking for an R/T tranny. i think that a neon trans will probably be easier to find anyway.
