Re: 96 ford contour

Generally as long as your torque converter isn't cracked and leaking you should be fine. However, if you already shelled out the money for the transmission, I would get a torque convertor as well for the simple fact that:

Your old torque converter is going to have metal shavings and impurities from your old transmission, do you want that in your new one?

^^^ ditto. It might save you a couple hundred, but you don't want that kind of uncertainty.
