Best to take it to a dealer for a check or a transmission specialist. Get two opinions to make sure if you don't trust them.

Where is the transmission drain plug for a 1998 Ford Contour?

The Transmission Drain plug for the 1998 Ford Contour (at least my automatic transmission with a V6 engine)is found under the front/middle of the car slightly to the passenger side. You can tell what it is because it points down with a female square shaped bolt/plug. If you are looking at the underside of the car it is more towards the back/middle of the car than the oil drain plug. You can often check out a book from the library on your type of car with photos and everything you need to know. Actually I was wrong the drain plug is more under the driver side of the engine... But the rest of the description still applies.

Will a Ford Contour or other transmission fit a 2002 Jaguar X Type 3.0?

While there is an external similarity, the ultimate answer is no. Jaguar used a 5-speed automatic made specifically for their car, while the Contour trans is a 4-speed. Since the transmissions are computer controlled, the computer in the Jag wouldn't know how to deal with the Contour, or any other, transmission. Your best bet is to try to find a good Jag trans in a wrecking yard.

Where is the radiator drain plug on a 1998 ford contour?

by Tigercadd:The drain plug is at the bottom of the radiator, passenger side facing the engine compartment. Im not a Big mechanic or anything but i know a few basics, not every car has a drain plug for the radiator, if it does, it will be on the bottom of the rad. if it doesnt a simple way to drain the coolant would be to disconect the bottom rad hose and let the coolant drain through thatI have looked at the manual and from what I can remember, on the Ford Contour, you have to remove the plastic splashboard underneath the front part of the car before you can see the radiator drain plug on a 1998 Ford Contour. I have not actually changed the radiator fluid on my Contour but I know you will have to remove the bolts that hold the splashboard on and remove the splashboard before you can see the radiator drainplug.
