I want to convert my neon to a RWD and would like to know if there is a RWD trans that is a direct bolt up to the 2.0 motor.

Car is a 2002 Neon 2.0 magnum motor. the motor has pistons/rods and turbo. Since i have so much in it I want to still use it in a RWD conversion.

Thanks

Will that mate up to the 2.0

Una, for the 2.0 Magnum motors will it just be a bolt on affair and go for the liberty transmission? Would the liberty transmission work with the Dakota bellhousing? I know, bad questions but they have been bugging me for awhile.

You've got a lot of choices when it comes to converting a 2.0 to RWD. Please read this link. Pay attention to Item #1 then jump to Item #11.

You can also use the new 6-speed Getrag NSG 370 from the 05-06 Jeep Liberty. You'll have to find one that's 2WD and specifically for the 2.4L. You'll also have to use the Liberty 2.4L flywheel in any application you decide on. They are thicker than the passenger car flywheels.

That is awesome information. But I feel a little stupid cause I can't find #11

post #11. Took me a minute to figure it out as well.

any word on how much power the stock clutch on the 03-04 liberty's can take when used on a 1,500 pound (ish) car? how much do these transmissions cost? how far back is the shifter from the front of the bell housing?

looking into getting a mid 70's MGB and putting a semi worked over 2.4L in it with a narrowed 8 3/4"

[PEEKIN]

what exactly would you use for a rear end and suspension in this situation , you nwould have to get a driveshaft made prob? i have never heard of this being done i'm really interested in doing this to a daytona, but prob using a 5 sped from a dakota with a 360 bolted to it lol, i'm mostly curious in the rear end setup

I cant make it stop. its like that movie where the kid says " i see dead people" except i see V8's spinning the rear tires! my wife has a 04 neon and i pulled the tape measure out today. its almost the same length as my daytona under the hood from the firewall to the radiator support. so i know a hemi will fit.
so many plans and not enough time to do them all.
