NEVER EVER HAVE A JUNKYARD ASSY (ENGINE,TRANS ETC) FITTED WITHOUT HAVING IT CHECKED INSIDE...its false economy, we know how MTX's have problems, chances of getting a good 'used' one are slim.Sounds like the tranny shop was not well veresed in Contour engine & trans removal !!!We buy ued & new(ex Ford ) parts at HMS all the time ,we ALWAYS strip the transmissions down.For the sake of a few hrs labor you are safe.To be honest I dont think you have any come back on the junkyard, you bought 'as seen'.Did you ask the trans shop to 'strip & check/ repair" or just 'fit it'?.You would have been better off having the existing trans repaired....why didnt the trans shop offer that?
