They're pretty easy to install, bolt it to the floor & run your cable.
I hear alot of Chevy talk here but apparently not many ford guys are on this FORd contour website! The mid 80's ford AOD was funny b/c it had 1st & 2nd together. So with my slap shifter You select 1st & it holds 1st when you bump it up it grabs 2nd but you have to pull it back in 1st for it to hold 2nd, then you wind it up bump back to 2nd & it goes into 3rd gear! usually that the end of the track but if you put it in drive thats overdrive! It takes some getting used to but its fun!
