I would not recommend it. I'm not sure who he is but anytime you change year and make, there are differences that usually don't work out. My biggest concern is that there are sensors that won't be transferable between the two which will result in TCM incompadabilities. Even if the OEM sensors screw in, pressures will most likely be different and not send the right signals. As a company, we only recommend direct fit parts because changes like this never seem to work.
