check the fluid level
if manual transmission , it will need 90-grade gear oil
Use Valvoline ATF-4. Yes, it's an automatic transmission fluid used in a manual transmission.
car surges at stop signs, when i put it in neutral it levels off then put it back in gear it seems to be ok
It is likely that the shift cable bushings at the transmission have failed.
Yes, just use the transmission from a 95-99 DOHC neon. Sohc transmissions had a 3.55, Dohc's had a 3.94 Makes for great acceleration on the highway even in 5th gear.
I am not a mech. but I own a 2002 dodge neon sxt 142,000 mi on it and have had all the regular problems with the transmision.If you have an auto trans, and it is stuck in 1st or 2nd gear here is a link that might help there are 13 parts to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46VeVdRdkpc&playnext=1&playnext_from=QL
speed sensor on transmission
I just fixed a 2002 Dodge Neon that would not shift up it was stuck in low gear replaced TCM now trans is working fine
Hope I'm not too late. I found a shift cable bushing for my neon on Ebay. Highly recommend this - costs $20 !!!
To repair a stuck gear shift in a Dodge Neon, it is best to refer to a manual for the vehicle. A full explanation should be found in it. This is considered a major repair so it may be best to have a professional to fix the issue.
