Crashteam's SRT Swap- Questions and Answers!- Updated

Ya lots of the Vac lines for the solenoids are blocked off with caps on my kit, The original srt was stg one so there must be something too that. I feel like we are still so far away...

After we got the shift cables in I sat in the car to engage the gears, They seemed to go in to gear ok with the stock neon Shifter, there was a huge amount of side to side play in the gears though that worries me.

for soem reason mine also had alot of side to side play when i first swapped the car make sure the bolts on the underside of the shifter cables are tight mine were a bit lose at first. mine has trouble shifting into reverse every few days lol but other than that it seems fine

You can use a Mopar Short Throw but as I learned that you cannot use a stock Neon Shifter as rod is slightly angled different and will not engage 2nd, 4th, and Reverse correct.

that's funny...because somehow my car has been running for over 2 years with a stock neon shifter.

I ran the old regular Neon STS that Mopar doesn't make anymore in my swap for well over a year... worked fine. I wouldn't see why a regular neon shifter wouldn't work.

IT RUNS!!! All we need to do is plum and mount the IC, Connect the exhaust, fuel pump and put the odds and ends back together and she will be road worthy!!!

Hey Dave,

The original ETA for my stage 1 PCM was 11/27/07 but they just change it to 12/29/07. Hopefully Flight Systems will not change the ETA again.

Revving up the motor, crude video

Also I need a part number for the rubber cap for this hole...

Were almost done! All we have left is to do the Boost solenoid lines, fuel pump and boost gauge and she will be road worthy!

Not to hijack the thread, but I still have an unanswered question about the clutch pedal. If you use the t350 from the Neon, you wouldn't need to swap any pedals at all, right? I plan on using my current transmission, but a new clutch and flywheel.

Adam K. · Post by **Adam K.** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 8:58 am

If you use the T350 you can keep your stock pedals.

Post by **Diablo0** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 9:21 am

Agreed

dave09092 · Post by **dave09092** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 9:55 am

I'm wodering how long the T350 transmission is going to last with the srt-4 engine.

yellowpatrol · Post by **yellowpatrol** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 9:58 am

I think it'll be fine. I guess we'll find out.

Post by **Diablo0** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 10:04 am

Just don't try and do burnouts or peal out much... you'll toss your diff pin through the housing which isn't so good. The stock diff in the T350 is known for failure when trying to do burnouts without some diff tabs to keep the pin in place.

yellowpatrol · Post by **yellowpatrol** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 10:06 am

But launches are okay, right?

Post by **Diablo0** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 10:14 am

Yah, usually, as long as you aren't spinning through the gears

CrashTeam · Post by **CrashTeam** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 1:08 am

T350? Is there more then one tranny that works on this swap?

yellowpatrol · Post by **yellowpatrol** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 10:01 am

Yeah, you can use either the T-350 which is what the Neon has or the T-850, which is what the SRT-4 has. You can actually use other transmissions, but it may take some custom fabrication. Case in point: JRM's automatic transmission.

CrashTeam · Post by **CrashTeam** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 4:40 pm

I didnt think the base model neon tranny would work, holly hell i learned somthin new!
