Abstract: Here we study two interesting smooth contractible manifolds, whose boundaries have non-trivial mapping class groups. The first one is a non-Stein contractible manifold, such that every self diffeomorphism of its boundary extends inside; implying that this manifold can not be a loose cork. The second example is a Stein contractible manifold which is a cork, with an interesting cork automorphism $f:partialWopartialW$. By cite{am} we know that any homotopy $4$-sphere is obtained gluing together two contractible Stein manifolds along their common boundaries by a diffeomorphism. We use the homotopy sphere $Sigma=-Wsmil{e}_{f}W$ as a test case to investigate if it is $S^4$? We show that $Sigma$ is a Gluck twisted $S^4$ twisted along a $2$-knot $S^{2}hookrightarrow{S}^4$; by using this we obtain a $3$-handle free handlebody description of $Sigma$ and then show $Sigmaapprox{S}^4$.
