or used off of fleabay
or week long searches on google.

Chrysler four-speed automatics only use ATF+4, regardless of what the dipstick or owner's manual says. ATF+4 is the right fluid for Chrysler automatic transmissions built since 2001

P0733 IS GEAR RATIO ERROR IN 3RD AND P0734 IS GEAR RATIO ERROR IN 4TH..THESE CODES USUALLY MEAN AN INTERNAL PROBLEM IN TRANSMISSION,BUT CHECK WIRES AT SPEED SENSOR CONNECTORS FOR BROKEN WIRES BY PULLING ON WIRES AND WIRING NEAR SOLENOID PACK FOR CHAFING..I HOPE THIS HELPS..YOU MIGHT WANT TO DROP THE TRANS PAN AND LOOK FOR A PLUGGED FILTER OR DEBRIS IN PAN..MAKE SURE THE TRANS COOLER IN RAD HAS NOT FAILED ALSO

Have you checked the fluid level? May need transmission service due to plugged fluid intake filter, or badly worn third gear clutch.

That's only 17 or 18 MPG/U.S. Gal. Not very good for a Neon. When was engine serviced last, as in air filter, oil filter , oil change, and perhaps a scan for any trouble codes? What type of driving conditions?

A very common late 90's code, P1457 is a failure in one of the evap system solenoid valves. There are 2 culprits, the Vent Control Valve & the 2 Way Bypass Valve. So, start working with those and see if you can get the 1457 code off of it.

I also looked around about the 1739 code as well which a transaxle error. However, I've found that there has been more than enough reported cases of problems of the such. Take a look at this link, and do a little reading.

I hope this helps you out.
