Even though Chrysler used a very strong silicone from the factory on several models, (caravans, neons, etc.) it is best to clean the transmission pan and mating surface of the original silicone, and replace with a gasket. I personally prefer the filter kits that come with a cork gasket.
It's very difficult to keep the transmission clean and dry long enough to give silicone a fair chance of adhering. (I tried to re-silicone a caravan once....but it did not seal completely along the rearward side of the pan due to the slanted position kept letting drops of Transmission Fluid trickle back on to the area I was trying to keep clean and dry)
Seems to be a good idea only on original build when no fluid has been put in yet. I work at a dealer, and only use the Mopar silicone to seal those trans pans.(no other gasket)
No
Around $20-25
If its a piece of paper and has holes in it then its the gasket for between the filter and the tranmission
No.
The trans was built with RTV silicone as the gaskets.
The speed sensor for a 1995 Neon is on the side of the transmission. It is mounted behind the vehicles exhaust.
I have a 98 neon .it had the same problem. take your tail lights out and put a thick bead of silicone where that gasket is between the body and the tailight and it should solve your problem. remove the gasket
Buy a new transmission oil pan gasket before your transmission blows from leaking liquid.
It should bolt right up. You'll need the pedals and all the linkage not to mention the computer from a neon with a standard transmission.
The 1998 is OBD2 and the 1995 is OBD1. They are two entirely different computer control systems and are not interchangeable.
I owned a 1995 neon sc with manual transmission. You don't add transmission fluid like you would a automatic. In fact, the type of fluid my neon required, could only be obtained through the dealer.
that would be a head gasket
