I see 5 speed Contours on Ebay a lot going for no reserve. One ad for a 97 MTX, the dealer says, "How do I end up with these oddballs"? Dealers flat out don't want clutch cars! [Unless it's a 2 door sporty car.]

If Hector wants a 5 speed, look on Ebay and get one cheap, then transfer mods, sell the 2000 with the stock parts.
