If you're swapping in the 2.4, just use the PT trans and ECU. It'll essentially be an auto PT GT and it's "less" of a headache. Not super fun I'm sure, but less wiring / hacking to use the OE harness and ECU for it.

Well that depends on the year of said Wife's car.

If it is a 2000/2001, then just keep the ATX that's in it.

For that matter, you can use the existing stock PCM, and just use the correct injectors.

The donor 2.4 may already have the right injectors.

If you have a 2000 M.Y. neon, you would only need to go with a 2001 newer FPR.

I used the same injectors that came with the '98 2.4, only I bought new ones, instead of using the "gummed up from sitting" ones.

Bosch number on injector: 0 280 155 784

If you have a 2001 newer neon, you may need larger injectors... 4.0 Jeep injectors may do the trick.

If the 2.4 is 2003 newer, and the car is 2002 older, you are going to have to swap the wire harnesses and engine/trans controller regardless.

If you are using the GT 2.4, you will want to use the GT ATX (41te), and the engine PCM, and as much of the wire harness as you can swap.

There are no turbo ATX neons from the factory, and the SXT PCM is not going to have a firm enough shift program to make your 40te live. You will want the PT/GT PCM, and any needed wire changes. A stage 1 upgrade for the ATX is also recommended.

Finding a dealer that will program it in once you are done might be a different matter.

If you have money to spend, and want a steeper learning curve, Mega Squirt does make a Mega Shift for ATX's.

No, only the 2002, and 2001 export neons used the 41te. 2003 to 2005 neons use the 40te.
