to my current knowledge, no, you cannot mate a 5 speed neon tranny with our cars. I was lookin into for my stratus project.
The boys over at Stratusphere.com came up with a way to swap out their auto trannies for the 5 spd manuals from 2.0 neons. They get all the luck with their parts...sigh..
Hehe...but on the other hand, I'm still trying to get Dad's Lenco from the race car to fit...
