    Even better, some of the mods might already be done, as in holes in the spacer plate might already be the right size. Two outa four from the original shift kit instructions anyhoo.

Projects: '88 Voyager 3.0, Auto with shift kit, timing advance, walker sound FX muffler on 15" pumpers wrapped in 215/65/R15 H rated Nexens.... and a '95 phord escort wagon PnP head << Both may need to go :( ..... I like 3.0s ... so??? ... stop looking at me like I've got two heads!

    Yeah, if you have any FSM covering the A-413 you'll be fine. Even I can do a little auto work on the neon trans so it can't be that bad. lol.

    Re: Neon auto trans mods...

    yeah i'v done the valve body mods and accumulator, and i know how to adjust bands... im not looking for a full race trans, hell this is going to be behind a bone stock 2.0L... i just want something that is going to shift like it should...

    i just wasnt sure if i follow the 413 mods and if there were anything else to do w/o anything more than dropping the pan...

    no prob just a SOHC with a shot of nitrous... im trying to get this going by monster mopar to try to get the field up for a FWD class... i can find running neons all over for like 500 bucks... i want to gut it, throw the drivetrian in the omni and run it...how ever after that (im assuming the motor will be toast by the end) yes the omni will be going 2.4L... but for now just a 2.0L stock on stock electronics...

    If you can find a DOHC head the'll scream right out of the box RPM wise. I'm sure you already know that, but it's something to think about. The engine side wiring harnesses are super easy to pull so that's nice too.

    It's under the hood pretty much where the computer is on all of our cars. Two bolts going int the frame like on our cars and one holding it down on the pass side rear corner. Most of those are pretty rusted so a large screwdriver to pry on the tab while turning the nut is usually a must. To get the connector off of the case there are tabs on the top and bottom that you have to squeeze. I've never been able to do it while the computer is still mounted in the car.

    Absolutely. I've always thought there was a reason it's listed in the books as the PL body.
