how much to pay to rebuild Zetec ATX?
My 1998 Contour Zetec ATX has 125,000 miles, and was used and maintained by State of Arizona before I bought it used with 112,000 miles. It is a bifuel CNG vehicle, so hopefully the engine and tranny have had a little cooler ride despite the Arizona heat. The engine runs well, but stalls sometimes before warming up. When shifting into reverse there are a few seconds of delay before the shift begins, so I think it may be time for a kit, and cooler.The local A Team Transmission mechanic gave me a quote of $700 labor to drop the tranny..parts extra. Is this a reasonable price? What all should I have done? The basic kit and cooler? Or any extras? I use the Contour mainly for commuting so I don't need a lot of performance. Gas mileage yes!
CNG has just returned to Houston area (I'm in Freeport on the coast) and it burns a bit cooler but it's still hard to find.
Trying to get 250,000 miles!
