I was wondering if a 5 spd. tranny will fit on my 98 4cyl. tour? What major mods will I have to do? What tranny do I use? Thanks for the help! Derek

It's been discussed for and everyone said it would be more reasonable to sell yours and buy a manual Contour. So automatic Zetecs like us will just have to settle with having a really slow car.  I've thought about taking an extra $5k and getting an SVT with 20,000 less miles...but then I remembered I don't have $5k...

I took what u said about HP into consideration. So, I armed myself with a can of spray paint and added HP to my trunk, hood, and doors. The car doesn't seem any faster but I get lots of looks. Maybe I did it wrong.
