First of is it a 4 or V6???
The 2.0 L - DOHC - 4 cylinder engine in a 2000 Ford Contour has a timing belt
A 2000 Ford Contour ( in North America ) Has either a 2.0 litre four cylinder or a 2.5 litre V6 engine
( No ) the 2.5 liter V6 engine in a 2000 Ford Contour has ( 2 timing CHAINS , 1 CHAIN to each cylinder head )
On a 2000 Ford Contour : The 2.0 litre four cylinder engine has a timing BELT * the scheduled maintenance guide shows to inspect the belt at 120,000 miles
I was looking at the 1998 and 2000 Contour SVT supplements and in both it shows the 2.5 liter V6 engine
it is located where the transmission is and is very easy to change. on a 2000 ford contour that is.
1---2---3---4 front of Contour
The weight of a Ford Contour will vary depending on the year and model of the Contour. A 2000 Ford Contour has a curb weight of 3,126 pounds.
Your 2000 Ford Contour cannot reverse because of a transmission failure problem.

I have the same problem right now on my 2000 Ford Contour. Haven't figured out the answer yet.
