I am in need of a 5spd tranny for a 1995 SE tour, with a 99 motor in it. will a 99 tranny fit? if so does anyone have any links? i'm searching ebay but my connection is acting up. either way, i was also wondering if anyone has done this and has any tips? the weekend after i purchase the tranny im hoping for transplant. are there any specific tools i should have ready? or manuals? anything i can get away with cheaply (in regards to pulling it out and putting the new one in, lifts, etc) lemme know. Thanx!! Jeremy AKA Jai '95 SE Contour / Midnight Purple (R.I.P) -------------------------------------------- Hopefully soon to own a candy red 1992 Caddilac STS ~ w00t w00t!

I have a shifer column on y 99, the 95 that I pulled the entire center console out, didn't they had a plug that went through the floor, and then everything ran from there under the car to the transmission. Not sure if that really matters. But its something to think about. You should stop by a junk yard and check it out. Hope the swap all goes well. 95 SES Sold 99 SE Sport Sold 99 SVT T-Red Tan Interior. K&N, Magnecors, 19' Theorys, And some audio stuff.

Would i be better off going with a rebuilt 95 tranny? in terms of ease of installation?
