Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches California my poor car

Jason, Was it your car that I saw sitting in a parking lot near Regan Theather in Pleasonton around 9pm yesterday.
What did you do with the NorthCal sticker?? You not proud of acnowledging that you are one of us anymore??

Jason, good to hear your car is back up and running. The funny part is Shamrock Ford did the same thing with my car when it was in there getting the gas tank replaced. They called and told me the parts were in and I could come by anytime and arrange to have them installed. They had my car the whole fricking time. Nice dealership, but I question some of the people that work there.

Probably was me. As far as i know i am the only green svt w/ chrome rims see a flag on the back and a black sticker with a guy running with a hatchet on the rear window too?

The NorCal CEG sticker came off a while ago. Everytime I washed the car I kept losing letters. and then the rest just came off.
I got pride I'm always referring people. The other day I pulled up to someone in the city in my dad's car. All my friends were with me and I was like yellin at the person to go to contour.org. they were laughing at me, but it was cool

anyone wanna meet up and change tranny fluid? tech day?

How hard is it to change? I need to do mine as well. Let me know if you want to hook up during the week this week to do it. The wife is out of town all week so I have a little free time throw me an email at

I've done it a couple of times on my ATX, and it's a piece of cake. (easier then changing oil).
But I thought that there is no drain plug on manuals or no way of checking the MTX fluid levels. Is that right??

The MTX has a drainplug on the rear side on the driver side. It's really an odd design. The fill plug is even worse. Horizontal makes it really hard to get fluid in (you need a pump of some sort.)
To check the fluid i imagine you would go through this point.
But after reading that post about how Mobil 1 might be too slippery I'm not sure if i want to put it in again.

Oh what to do
