Mine went on Saturday Question is, can I rely on the car for a week until I have an opportunity to leave it with Ford? I have an 800 mile round-trip this week for Thanksgiving... Should I be concerned that I'll lose the ability to shift to any other gear, or should I just drive it? 1999 SVT Contour - SOLD!!!!!!! 2003 Mach 1 =)
