[Neon SRT-4] Transmission Removal


Transmission Removal - Page 2

By: Jmihalchik

22.) Next we will remove the intermediate shaft, Remove the two bolts that hold it to its bracket.



Remove shaft from tranny carefully there is open gear drives on end of shaft do not damage. Place somewhere safe.

23.) Next hot side intercooler pipe come out. Remove clamps , 1 is near turbo outlet.



there is only one clamp at that location, the other is under car in front of oil pan.



Remove the two bolts circled in above picture. Wiggle hard hot pipe out of car.

24.) Next the PS cooler lines need removed.



place bolts with hard pipe to not misplace. Lines will be fine just loose under car.

25.) Next I removed the ps cooler mounting bolts.



I placed bolts back in spots after removing to not misplace. Let cooler and lines dangle

26.) Next remove the intermediate shaft mounting bracket from block (may not be necessary but there is a motor to trans bolt that was torqued highly and you need the room.15mm


place bolts with part and set aside.

27.) Structural Collar comes out next.



This may not come out until remove the lateral support under starter if it doesnŐt, just let it sit and it will come out in the next step.


28.) Lateral Support is next.





Remove bolts



Place bolts in correct holes and place aside.

29.) Next remove starter bolts. 2 on side toward passenger, 1 on driver side of bell housing.





30.) Remove shift linkage, If you have booger bushings they are a little of a pain but they will come out , just be careful as the linkage is plastic and can break pretty easily.




31.) Remove shift linkage-retaining bolts from tranny case there is 2 (15mm)



32.) Next we need to disconnect the clutch slave cylinder line. The factory does make a tool for it (6638a) I used Needle Nose pliers wedged between the tab and the fitting.


takes a little time but it will loosen. Tie it up so it doesnŐt get caught upon removal of tranny.
33.) backup connector needs disconnect and the tab that holds it down removed from bracket.

34.) Next remove the splash shield from the passenger side to access the crank pulley.


35.) Next take a look at where the tranny meets the engine under the car, you should see a big gear (ring gear) there should be a bolt visible, if not put a 19mm on crank pulley and turn till you see a bolt.

Bolts are 18mm , Need to stick a flat screwdriver into ring gear to stop motor from turning. If you have a shorty socket like I have (comes with any belt tensioner tool) u can get a ratchet in there.

Turn motor till you have all 4 bolts out.
36.) Next there is a bolt next to the vehicle speed sensor that needs removed (18mm)
