The non turbo dsms have the engine on the same side as the neon (engine passenger side tranny drivers side) and spin the same way.
Turbos have the engine on the wrong side (honda side drivers)spin the normal way but have another shaft in the tranny to correct it and make the car drive forward not backwards.
But.. according to http://www.2gnt.com/www/ntfaq.htm...
Q: Is my engine really the same as that in the Neon?
A: Basically yes. It is the same block and the head is similar. There are some differences:
- The engine is mounted opposite in the Neon. Intake in front exhaust out back. The intake and exhaust manifolds are different.
