Tranny has'nt died for 30K miles when the O/D light first sarted blinking, so if I am lucky it might drive for another 30k.

BTW is it possible to put a MTX instead of ATX. I have FOrd Contour 97 with CD4E.

thanks,
regards


Get the ATFluid changed. It can only help. And while it is possible to put a MTX in the ATX, it would be more trouble and money than it is worth. Might as well get another working Contour (rather than just the transmission). Good luck.
