Hey, I need some help with my dodge neon 2002?

if your wanting something to toy around with a manual transmission would be a lot better to deal with,you can up grade the engine in those to run pretty good for what they are,and you should be able to trade that one real easy with a new transmission in it,that was one of the cars major flaws ,was the transmissions going out so trading that one wouldn't be hard to do,don't let no one con you out of your car though, its still worth a lot so if you do trade don't give any money to boot because most car lots would rather have an automatic to sale than a standard shift car,but they don't like to trade even up,your car will be worth more than a standard shift car will be,good luck with it.

If your going to start modifying it, just buy a new transmission to put in it. This will help with your mods and if you get it geared right will make it faster.

get an aftermarket stereo

exhaust check out borla, magnaflow, flowmaster

B&M hammershift or rachet shift, or hurst autoshifters

get a sunroof installed

check out some rims

maybe tires as well

lower kits so the car sits low

you should trade your neon for the manual trans car of your choose.
