I have no deadline to have this car running, but I'm not sure if this job is within my ability. When I look up how to remove transmissions on other Fords, it's always a very straight forward process, but, when I look up the mystiques and contours, it seems the entire engine must be disassembled. Are the mystiques and contours really that different from the other Fords I've looked up (with regards to this repair)?

It is a straight forward job, but space has a neg affect on things. No it isn't much different that others.
