Yeah, now, as you say it, I believe, there has to be a tool for that work.
Could you post some pictures and/ or part-number for the one you have ?

Apart from that it could succesfully be done if you are very careful.

Because the black PCM-plug has been damaged by the accident on my SXT I had to care about fixing it. Thanks a lot Mike for sending me that thing ! http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Plug/2909.jpg http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Plug/2910.jpg http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Plug/2911.jpg So let´s get start...

Great - good to know

I only tried to put the 300M-mirror on the mirror but had not left it as the plugthing has to be fixed before. It looks nearly the same as yours in your picture.

Maybe you could try to find some manuals for the PT Cruiser - it should be comparable.

Really nice work you did. I like the R/T.

I thought about spending my holiday in the UK, buy a R/T to drive around a bit and take it back home to germany.
Actually I am trying to convince my wife of that idea

btw - do you still have the R/T-alloys left or already sold ?

Little update - I bought an inside- rearviewmirror with autodim out of an 300M. The socket is comparable so you can directly install that mirror onto the neon. Only the plug is different, so you better try to get a mirror including that different plug... http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/mirror/2743.jpg

@Dante - yes - you are right, I never realized the different struts.
So I will compare next time the gabriel ultra struts which I purchased short time ago to see if they were more SRT or more SXT like

@NickKo - my pleasure

yeah - I do hope that I could get it functioning at the end. Today I spent with disassembling a rear left knuckle and control arm at the junkyard for a buddy and by the way ripped off the ABS-wiring from rear to front. Back home I have been rewiring the cabletree at the SXT. Hopefully it won´t last ...

I am sure the stock SRT-Springs are stiffer but not shorter than standard 2nd-gen springs, ´cause I installed stock SRT struts and springs to my 2000 and it isn´t lowering her in any way. I heard the 1st springs should lower the 2nd, but for the SRT I think they could be a bit too floppy - otherwise...

got her back home today installed the front towing bracket http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/SXT/2891.jpg tied the cabletree and putted the tow rope on http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/SXT/2892.jpg http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/SXT/2893.jpg Without running engine and without battery - a lot of fun :lol:...

We have a similar problem here and a buddy in workshop suggested to try something like

(oil stop leak). He told he had tried it himself and it should have been working - so we will try that, too.

The bux-neons are ready to get the alarm activated by the chrysler-dealer. I had to install the hood-switch (the plug is still existing there at the passengers side near the fender - or you have to bridge the contact) and the dealer could program the (simple) alarm which is activated by the door-con...

ok - model year maybe, but date of built ...

My 1st 2nd (the black one) was first registered 12/1999

Over here the 2nd-gen has been sold from 1999 up to 2003 (some 2004). And only the us-02-Version-face ever.

The 1st and 3rd version has never been sold here regularly.

Haven´t you got any 99 2nds over there ?

But anyway - thanks for the info though

Thanks a lot - so we should think about it a bit more ... maybe.

OK - great - or maybe not even that great ...

So it´s not possible to swap without any trouble into an ATX-neon, neither the three-speed nor the 4-speed.

Maybe I should buy that engine myself for my own mtx 00

Don´t blame me, if I published this here anywhere before ... :D Just for your interest I wrote down the differences between the 3 foglight-versions which have been used within the 2nd-gens. First is the 99-01, kit should be 82206938 http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/silver/1448.jpg http://www.dodgeowne...

Thanks so far. But the atx should stay, so the tranyswap-stuff won´t be needed I think. The LE has SKIM, the R/T should have had too. Does the R/T-PCM not work with the LE-SKIM-Module ? If not, we should better do the swap beneath a Chrysler-Dealer for flashing :tardbang: Would the R/T-engine run wi...

I have been searching, sure. But the most threads I found were about swapping ngc and pre-ngc components. A buddy likes to swap a pre-ngc R/T engine into his pre-ngc neon with 3-speed-atx. All available is just the engine and the pcm. Has anybody done this and does it work without too much pain ? Am...

On bux Neons you have seperated amber rear turnlights and red brakelights. If you like to mod that, you have to pull out the cable at pin1 on your MFS (wt/tn) http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Nebelscheinwerfer/2067.jpg which comes from the brakepedal. Take care to isolate it very carefully. Now your t...

The rearfoglight isn´t existing on us-neons. The switch is included at the multifunctionswitch on the export-neons. There are three different MFS http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Nebelscheinwerfer/1840.jpg 1. us - only front fog http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Nebelscheinwerfer/1713.jpg 2. export - onl...

A 99 bux-cluster seemed to be working on my 05 SXT, so I think it should work. I connected it only a moment to see, if it will be working and to read the mileage, don´t installed it for longer.

There are at least three different MFSs available, us-version with front-fog only and without rear-fog, bux-version anyways with rear-fog but without front-position and us/bux-version with rear and front fog. http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Nebelscheinwerfer/1840.jpg Years ago I bought the mopar-fron...

Like Jenni said, I have them here since three or four years or something, switch(es) and a pair of mirrors. The switch is definitely longer than the standard. The switch is always fixed with two screws. If you try to get that thing fit, you loose either the upper or the lower screwhole. Shouldn´t be...

That´s right - the wing-cover might more difficult, but I thought you were speaking about this one

Shipping the airbag is really a bad thing if you care, but at least the only thing of interest might be the emblem, so why don´t you rip it off and exchange only this ? http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Lenkrad_airbag/Abdeckung_Airbag_1.jpg http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Lenkrad_airbag/Emblem_Airbag_1....

timingbelt has been done and the engined is right back





and the nozzles are fixed, too



Now I am just waiting for the ABS-axles.

I think it is more difficult to swap the 4-speed Atx, ´cause it´s electronically controlled and engaged with the pcm. The older 3-speed may be way easier to swap. You may have to decide wether you like to use the hydraulic clutch pedal or the bowdenwired - depends on the trany you find. You may need...

Sure the 02 taillights will fit onto your 04



Make them fit if they won´t

.

Is TRAC working at anytime - either switch has been pressed or not ?
