While you do that might as well throw a new clutch and flywheel in the mx too. Maybe even a focus shift tower and updated synchros...hehe. It's too easy to spend money... If you pull the tranny you do not do the Focus shift tower (search in Transaxle as it's been discussed many times). LSD ~$600 clutch & flywheel ~$750 shift forks, synchros, misc. ~$100 Please read the Duratec Sticky at the top of this forum which has a "what should I do first / next" FAQ in it. haha, yea I just wrote what popped in my head in the few seconds I wrote it. Ignore the Shift Tower...Shift Forks tho!... 2000 Contour SVT SF - #542 of 2150

I suggest pulling it and shipping it to Terry Haines. About $1500 for labor and parts for a Quaife equipped trans and replacement of some parts that may be worn. -'96 SE MTX 3L -'98 SVT 1,173 of 6,535 -'05 Mazda 6s, loaded, g/f's ride -Need a 96-00 manual on CD?

There is almost no difference in time pulling the transmission then there is pulling the entire motor and transmission out. If you can wait save yourself a lot of time and money by doing it all at once. If your not going to do a 3L then forget I said anything. At the very least do headers for the car. One of the best mods for our cars. 1999 3.0L Cougar: 220fwhp and 200tq 2003 VW Passat W8 with 4 Motion AWD http://www.cardomain.com/ride/300644 PM for intrest in 3L SVT Contours, 3L swaps into your current car, Prepped 3L engines, or anything 3L related.
