Thank you in advance. Will a transmission from a 2003/2004 Rodeo with the 3.2 exchange with the 2002 3.2? A lot of sellers distinguish the models as 1999-2002 and 2003-2004 with the transmissions they offer. On the surface it is not logical for them not to exchange. There is a significant difference in price and availability also. Oddly going to some junk yard sites, and using their part finder it will show an engine out of a 2004 will work with a wide range, but the same transmission will not. If not directly compatible then any tricks to make it work?

Good morning,

The difference is the controls and wiring. They are not compatible for exchange.

You will need a transmission from the 1999-2001 for the installation.

Go to www.car-part.com and you can find many transmissions in your area for the exchange.

I attached the wiring diagrams for both transmissions for you to view.
