Just a note of caution if your autoxing a V6 Contour.
I accidentaly discovered my top transmission mount was broken, the vibration suppressor shaft was sheared off. The car gave no indictaion this had happened and is probably (may be)a safety concern.
This part is located directly under the air cleaner box.
If broken you will be able to just pull the mount supression rubber right out of the mount.
