Yes these do have shifter cables that go bad, usually the bushings on the ends. Check with a good auto parts store. you need DORMAN #14044

My dodge neon stuck in first gear wont go in any other gear its all play

There are bushings in the linkage for the shifter under the car at the shifter and at the trans. Those wear out or the retaining pin clip may have come off and pin got loose.

1998 dodge neon wont turnover and headlights go dim and start flickering when i try to start it

Sounds pretty "cut-and-dry" to me. You need to charge or replace the dead battery, and make sure your battery cables are CLEAN AND TIGHT and then check to make sure your alternator is charging correctly.

With reverse, 5th and 6th not available, I would suspect one or more of the shift cables are not properly connected, or anchored on the transmission. Are you sure that you got a 6 speed VR4 and not the 3000 GT 5 speed?

Ford transmission wines in 1st 2nd 3rd revers, no

It is a 5 speed manual transmission? If it is noisey in all gears except for 4th, then the problem is countershaft bearings.

Tranny problems 03' Dodge Neon sxt 2.0

not sure on the set up of whether its rods or cables on this model for your gear linkages but sounds like one has either detached or broken which should be a relatively easy fix and not too expensive.Get a friend to move through gears while you look under to see whats moving and whats not.
