I just called a bunch of junkyards and they're all telling me that you can ONLY use a '96, with all the other years the electronics are wrong and use different connector plugs.
I did find one guy who has one, which is available only because another customer backed out, and he wants $700. The quote I got for installation at another place is $800. He's offering a 90 day warranty. I'm trying to decide if this used-up sack of waste matter I'm driving is worth sinking that much money into.
How hard is it to swap a tranny yourself? I pulled an engine once and it took forever, but mostly due to all the little stuff you have to clear out of the way. Maybe the tranny is simpler.
