I believe you can use a transaxle from any Contour family vehicle up to 1999.
But there are requirements...
The most important one is that the engines have to match...
If it comes from a Zetec, it will only work with a Zetec.
Same goes for a Duratec.
You can cross them from one engine to another but it requires a lot of rebuilding
and replacing parts and clutches to make one transaxle do the job of another.
