Hey fella's im new to the contour & having to learn alot about'em in the last few weeks.
These horror stories of Snap rings & Planetary's failing is not what my world needs anytime soon, being this is my moms contour & shes now living with me as of retirement & old age. The contour is a 1999 se with exactly 85900 miles on the clock with no symptoms of tranny problems & i would like to keep it that way !!! So any suggestions would be helpful since you guys have experience with these cars. Maybe adding a tranny cooler + syn fluid like lucas or royal P or something? How often should the fluid be changed & can you replace the filter in the cd4e or whatever its called. Also she went to the drive thru at the bank, put it in Park, made deposit, then when trying to put into Drive it would not come out of park-she was stuck there for like a 1/2 hr messing with it then finally it let loose & went down to drive. Any ideas?
