Is a Cougar manual trans the same as the contour?

As long as the Cougars are V6 then they will work.

There were revisions an the 01 cougar trans' are different. They take 2 qts not 3 as well.

what all is different? will a contour trans bolt into an 01 cougar assuming it's already bolted to my 3.0 and my contour poly mount?
if not that way, would it work with a contour subframe?

The later revisions were all internal. It does not affect the compatibility or fitment.

So if someone wanted to do a transmission swap on a 2000 SVT, is the 2001 Cougar trans the best option. Is that the last of the revisions?

an 2k SVT should also have the revised mtx that takes the 2.1 qts of fluid. not sure if there where any other changes.

what changed to make it take .6 qts less fluid? I'm guessing the revisions we're disussing are the three part shaft as opposed to two piece? does the new style shaft actually displace that much more fluid?
