If your mechanic ever throws that at you. I think there are three of these clutch packs in the CD4E transmission. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Total bill will be around 900 bucks. I think this will round me up to about $4,500 that I've spent on repairs in the 2 years that I've ownwd this car. It only had 30,000 miles on it when I bought it. Now its got 59,000. I really enjoyed driving this car when it ran correctly but I'm selling it after this. 1998 ContourLX V6 ATX Cats Gutted+MIL Eliminators Grandma gave me the finger

Here are the repairs that were made Master Kit- $340 Filter- $45 Oil- $31 Turbine- $120 Bus Set?- $76 Bands- $46 Selenoid- $300 Shift Kit- $110 Labor $250 For a total of 1,318 dollars So far the car runs like new. Do I need to take it easy on the car? Like a break-in period? Thanks, John 1998 ContourLX V6 ATX Cats Gutted+MIL Eliminators Grandma gave me the finger

Thanks, John I have not read anything anywhere that actually states that you should "take it easy" or define's any sort of break in period for ATXs, but just to be safe... I would. Just so you can feel everything out and what-not. If after about 3k or so and everything still feels solid, then I would give it few runs. The main suggestion that I have for ya though... Either get the tranny flushed every 15-20K or do a drain and fill at every other oil change. If you use Mobil 1 ATF, you would still need to change it this frequently, until you get a tranny cooler installed. Don't get all down and out, because now you gotta go out and get something else for the car. You can get a good cooler for less then a hundred dollars and install it yourself in a few hours or less. Once you get the cooler installed and you are fully running Mobil 1, you can then extend out your drain & fill's to every third oil change or so. Congradulations on getting it fixed!
