Its usually never that easy when switching transmission types and mostly expensive so I wouldn't recomend doing the swap unless you have the time and $$$$$$$$$$$

I have a 98 talon n just bought it it wont go into 5th gear trying find out if the synchronize is it easy to fix it or get aother 5speed trans

Synchronizers are fairly inexpensive, but tearing the trans apart and changing them is not something for the untrained. If you have a shop go through the trans at least you will know what you have.

I have a 1997 Ford Contour 2.0 engine 5 speed my backup lights won't come on

The backup light switch is probably bad. It's on top of the transmission. It's pretty inexpensive, and should be fairly easy to change.

I have a 1985 S10 with a 4 cyl engine 4 speed . Can I use a later model 5 speed trans in this truck with the 4 cyl engine?

I believe so. The 4.3 has the same bell housing as 350/305. It is different from 2.8 and 2.5. But from what I remember the 2.8 and 2.5 were the same. I can only speak for years up to 93. I know on the later models the slave cylinder is inside bell housing and the speedometer would be different. Probably too much trouble even if bell housing was the same.

Auto trans will shift some times and manual only

It may be just the vehicle speed sensor. Does the speedometer work OK? The vehicle speed sensor tells the computer how to control the shifting and it also sends a signal to the speedometer. Is the trany full of fluid, is it fairly clean? It should be red. Most vehicles, you check the fluid with the engine idling, in park.

I would pickup a plastic manual pump syphon hose, insert it in the transmission fill tube and pump out the appropriate amount. You should be able to buy on cheaply at most auto parts or home improvement stores.
