How do I make a neon 3 speed a turbo 3 speed?

Okay, I remember reading somewhere that internally the 413 turbo and early neon 3 speed tranny is exactly the same. So what do I need to do to get a 3 speed neon tranny up to turbo specs?

Are you thinking of making your charger an auto now? I just trashed 2 413s also I would have given them to you so ou could have anything out of them but ill keep my eyes out from some more parts.

I am not 100% sure that I will be able to make the NVT350 fit wihtout major work. so I am just trying to keep my options open. Thanks!

well its already the same/better stuff except for a lockup sol(and lu input shaft/convertor) and larger/better bearing housing.

So I could get a ALTO 413 rebuild kit, rebuild a neon 413(Whatever it's designation is), and viola..turbo neon tranny?

well you could get a neon rebuild kit and then get an extra rear clutch and the steels from a 78-80 trans(they are smaller so you can fit 5 in the rear) then ditch the wave rings for solid rings(or the alto clutches)

either way the diff/VB/convertor are all weak from the factory

I suggest a TD non lockup shaft/convertor
a RMVB
OBX diff

do some reading of the stickies and such because depending on how much power you are making the input shaft can also break

I wouldnt buy anything from FM unless you want to over pay. A rebuild kit for these trans is like$75 and is missing the over run clutch and thrust washer, like I said you can get different steels and more clutches for like$10

Don't Neons have 3 clutch discs? if so, you'll need to step up to the TD 4 pack and then either add 1 more or leave them. Some have mentioned the Alto 5 packs are too thin and sheer. I just did the A404 trick on the forward clutch, used 4 thin steels and one reg one to get 5 discs in there and around .040 clearance.

all neons come w/ 4/4 clutch setup from the factory AFAIK
I have a newer mini trans and I know for sure that they do.

0.040 is pretty loose you beter be prepared for some serious flare.
