Warning: The Cougar Actuator(1S8Z-7210-AC) doesn't fit the Contour.
I've just received my order for the Cougar shift knob and silver reverse lockout (actuator). The shift knob's fine but the actuator doesn't fit properly on the Contour's shift rod (or whatever it's called): it's about 1/2 inch too short, so when installed the lockout ring doesn't reach up to the shift knob. (I have a 98 Contour).
So you'll either have to modify the Actuator or cut and retread the actual shift rod. Not a biggy in any case, but just wanted to let you know it's not a simple parts swap.
