Repair Manuals/Changing Fluids and Belts

[soul_sword34]

Hello I finally decided to beef up my 2000 Plymouth Neon but only can find a Haynes and Chilton manual and they all only have manuals for 95-99 models. Does anyone know where I can find one for the 2nd gen models. Is the 99 any different from the y2k as far as tranny fluid changing and timing belt changes? 75,000 miles and not a single problem with my beauty yet. Currently investing $5,000.

I would get intouch with the dodge garage and order a mannual through them they are a bit high on prices but they are probablly better manuals anyhow.Other than how to tear it down and rebuild it the manuals will not help to modify it.

I have the Haynes manuals and they do show how to almost entirely rebuild a 2.0 and also help to identify parts and most dos and don'ts. It's is just that the y2k is a little different I noticed. Air intake for example is towards the front and uses a conefilter. As far as mods easy. K&N air filter, Iceman Air, light underdrive pulley, a beefier cam and sprockets, coil, etc. A few things I can think of are left out mod chips, ram air, body removal, Nos and others I can't think of now. How in the hell do you torqe your kick down adjustment and then back it off, then while holding it in place torque the holding nut (forgot the actual name for it)? Pretty impossible with a socket cuz you cant hold on the adjuster and torque the holding nut too. Am I missing a tool? Peace out Neon dudes!
