I don't know about the different transmissions. Your best bet is to go to the parts house and buy a Haynes manual for your Contour. It will have the step by step process to change over your transmission. Will also have some helplful pictures to guide you through the process. There are about 27 steps to do this. Get the manual. It's only about 15 bucks.

Id PM todras on contour.org. If his prices are still the same, he sells CD contour manuals for $8 shipped.

Make sure the ground wires are in the right spot and it is a pain in the butt to change.I seen my father change one in the newer body style Mercury Couger which is the same body style as the Contour.If you put the ground wires in the wrong spot,you will burn up the transmission up.
