I am new here and came here from mustangforums.com to look for help on a contour I just bought. Basically I got a 1998 contour and the guy said it just needed a new trasn mount. So I thought easy fix and by the time I got it home it was shifting hard and clunking when it would shift. I look underneath the car and see that the trans mount is not connected to the car and that a few bolts may be broke off into the transmission. I am trying to take the car back but its not working out. Also, the fuel line got so hot that it burnt a whole in the low pressure hardline on the a/c. I took the two clips off and could not figure out how to get the line off. Are these transmissions good? Do they usually have problems? It is shifting so hard that it churps the tires. Is that a sign that it needs replaced? How can I get that dang a/c line off. Thanks for all your help.
