no it isnt just the starter now.. the pump in the transmission is shot, i need a new starter, to pass inspection it needs frame work, front end work, body work, and exhaust... i just dont have enough money anymore

Sorry I wasn't able to come up and help. GF's parents are out of town and I've had to watch their house, plus work.

How much are you looking to get for the car? Miles etc.. Frame work?

it is cool man... idk how much to sell it for... it only has like 58k miles and idk what is wrong with the frame cuz it looks fine and i have never heard anything from anywhere else that i took it.. i really just need to get rid of it. idk if i should save my sound system or sell it with the car.. thatr might get me more money

I just saw your neon on CL! I had no idea you were selling it

tomfitz · Post by **tomfitz** » Sun May 16, 2010 9:38 pm

yeah it needs more transmission work and i cant afford it so i am either selling it or parting it out and buying my buddies dakota

Man, no offense to you or your mother but I remember you posting in here SEVERAL times about her bitching about you wasting money on the neon and how you needed a new car, and now that that has happened, she's saying the opposite?! Get an mtx 1gn

tomfitz · Post by **tomfitz** » Sun Jun 13, 2010 2:36 pm

yeah she is very looney and no offense taken.. now i just need to find an affordable mtx 1gn

so i went to a car show and chilled with some friends in the park and since the tranny problems are because of the "front pump" as the garage i took it to said, they suggested i take out the pump of the old tranny and swap it into the newer one.. i know it will be hard but i am wondering exactly how much of a PITA it would be

BlackRoseRacing · Post by **BlackRoseRacing** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 8:36 am

If your going to be messing with swapping out the front pump, you may as well either swap out the entire trani or have someone rebuild the one you want to put the pump in. This is one of those projects that while your in there you may as well do it.
A 3speed overhaul kit is relatively cheap and you could always do the old school mods to beef up the trani for future use while your at it...

scale of one to ten how hard is it to overhaul a transmission... im pretty sure that auto transmissions are a pain in the ass

If you're doing it yourself without someone there to help you... 15 or 16, I'd say.

tomfitz · Post by **tomfitz** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:54 pm

so i priced some things out and i am going to try and bring the neon back to life... i just wont have any money afterwards... it is about a hundred bucks for a tranny rebuild kit and my buddy knows a guy that rebuilt his transmission for 200 bucks and my buddy didnt even buy a kit, just dropped off his transmission. the sub-frame that goes under the engine needs replaced because of rust and online it is around 200 bucks but i am gunna try and find one at a junk yard for cheaper... and then all thats left is tires... and i have two good steelie tires and two good white rim tires... so i might just rock it obama style... working full time and only making around 400 bucks and only being able to use 200 of it sucks but i will find a way

shitty pay ended my hopefulness and since none of the people that were "interested" in the car never showed up, my mom got fed up and called a scrap yard and they came and picked up the neon and gave her $190 for it... hopefully someone will see the potential and buy it as is without parting it out. so for now no neon... until i get more money and then it is srt time

So... your mom scrapped an otherwise good running car because the trans went poof, leaving you with no car, instead of helping you to get the trans replaced so you could continue making it to work without inconveniencing her?

No offense dude, but your mom sounds like a fucking retard.

tomfitz · Post by **tomfitz** » Wed Aug 04, 2010 11:23 am

none taken... she is a fucking retard...

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Wed Aug 04, 2010 11:24 am

Oh well. Get your dumb ass a better paying job and buy it back.
