Treat all of the contour MTX-75's built for 98 and up the same. Use these upgraded part numbers that we posted in here and you won't be wrong. The differential upgrade is optional, but the stock differential is notoriously weak, proven by many people on here! The shift forks are a must if yours are too stiff, or just plain good insurance if you pull it apart. Terry Haines can hook you up, but he is so busy it was easier to tackle this myself. You can always talk to your local Ford dealer or a good transmission shop about helping to set/shim the differential if you have trouble installing it or it looks like it won't fit correctly. Make sure to invest in the ford CDrom since it has the whole procedure on it.
