Does anyone want to trade their Contour V6 with a 5 speed for my silver 1998 Contour SE Sport with an automatic?

I HATE automagic transmissions. My car has like 165,000kms on it, new water pump, new rad, new tires, new thermostat, new rear brakes, new rear wheel cylinder, new tie rod.

Anyone? I know you'd have to be crazy to do this, but its a shot in the dark.

Most of us that have the V6 5speed combo have it for just the reason you want one. As for this post you'd be best to put it in the top sticky for our local classifieds. Now if you were serious and wanted to go to a 4 CYL MTX we could talk but I can almost assure you, you wouldn't want to deal with this headache.

As a sweetner, you could throw in a couple of gallons of Prestone...

Its not as bad as all that right now suprisingly enough. I have been driving with the same jug for the last 5 months now and it is still over half full. The leak looks big on the ground after a night of sitting but I'm guessing it really isn't all that much when you get down to it.
