Any differences between the 95-00 3 speed atx and the 01 atx

Hey guys ive heard some rumors that the 2001 3 speed atx tranny is different in some aspects then the 95-00 one... Is this true? Cause someone had to modify their tranny/vb when installing a performance one into a 2001... any comments...

AFAIK there is no difference unless you happened to get an 01 with the 41TE ATX (4spd).

correct, as long as its the 3spd, then theres no diff. obviously if its the 4spd theres a diff.

So there is a 4 speed 01 atx...I think mine is a 4 speed. =(
Anyway to tell for sure, cause I am not sure when it shifts at 80, if that isn't an over drive gear or something. It sucks btw.

just mash to gas to 90mph. that should be more than adequate to tell if you have a 4th gear.

Did you call Turboaction and ask them?

The valve body is listed for 95-2000 but it did work on my 2001 with some modification.

thought my 3spd was a 4, but that "4th" is actually the lock up torque converter..... feels like a shift..... i asked the same question awhile back... 01 neon se<--

Well, my buddy was in my car and I asked him that question, and he said if it was a 4 speed atx it would go park, reverse, drive, drive with a circle then 1, and 2. No drive with a 0...so yeah....Is there anyway I can find out with the VIN #? Brr? lol

why dont you just give it gas to 90mph like i said? i think thats easier... and its more fun

Then mine is a 3 speed. =) Going to 90 is fun but the torque converter kicks in on the atx's at 80..So your at like 5.5k and then it drops to like 3 once u hit 80, it sucks. There are high performance ones out that disable this function, correct?

02 was the introduction of the 4speed...01's still had the 3speed...

well raul if u wanna disable it then just unplug the connector for the torque convertor lockup u will get a cel but u will never have to worry bout it locking up... The connector for the lock up is right behind where the dipstick tube goes into the tranny...
