I was told that the '93 tranny would interchange with the '96. All I would need to do is switch out the three sensors, and rewire the starter switch. I've switched two of the sensors, the input and output speed sensor. The range sensor plug on the vehicle doesn't match either the prndl switch or the neutral start switch receptacles on the '93 tranny so I guess that's why I can't get the engine to start. I've rewired the starter switch to a button and it does crank ok. I've probably wasted my time but if someone has any ideas to make this work it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi:

I hate to give you the bad news, but the only transmission that will work is for a 96. To make it worse, you have to know the production date of the vehicle and the trans. There are some differences between ones made late 95 / early 96 and the ones made late year production.
