Hi everyone,

Last week a Ford Mondeo (not the new model, old one) came to our workshop on a tow truck for transmission repair and I pulled transmission out of it. After a brief look inside out I found that its Cougar's cousin. I found the following parts exactly the same of Cougar's.

Inside:
-Center console
-Side mirror controls
-Indicators and wiper controls
-Ignition lock

Outside
-Antenna
-Wipers

Underbonnet:
-Brake booster, Master cylinder
-Coolant reservoir
-Powersteering reservoir and infact the whole rack, pinion, pump.
-Ofcourse Transmission
-A/C compressor
-Drive belt tensioner

Under car:
-Subframe
-Front and rear transmission mounts (the ones that sit on subframe)
-Front and rear shock absorbers
-Swaybars and links
-Rear control arms, brakes, discs, crossmember
-Front brakes, discs, (didnt notice drive shafts, I guess they should be the same)

All these parts are exactly the same that you see on Cougar, including the part numbers. Now you might wonder how this is going to help. Well, after taking the transmission out of the Mondeo, I found that the mounts were broken and we ordered new ones. Got both of them under $120. Most of them are cheap and you can find lot of Mondeos in the wreckers.

If you are looking for any part which is hard to find or expensive, let me know, I will ask my boss or workshop manager to find the best price for it.

Cheers

Yogi.
