i have a buddy who wants to do a swap in his 2000 neon.., it's auto and wants to go manual..., i just need the info on all the steps, and parts needed..thanks..

it is recomended to get a donnor car, otherwise it gets really expensive really fast.

Here is a great how-to, but it is on a 95. Shouldn't be too different if at all....

honestly sell the auto and just buy a manual, it is lot less work and lots less expensive, the manuals are not easy to find but are worth looking for but that is just me i would sell it and get a manual then start doing mods to the engine and save some money in the process,

You're looking in the wrong areas then. I can get a 3.55 or 3.94 tranny whenever need be

Hmm yeah I have to agree... I gotta 3.94 here, and I went to three different dealers before I got my car, and at least half of the Neons on all the lots were MTX's... gotta be a decent amount of junkyard surplus by now.
