Hi,

In each model year, there were three different possible transmissions used. Although the transmission model is the same, the part numbers are different. That indicated a change.

I wish I could tell you it would work without issue, but I feel you will run into trouble with sensors, solenoids, or something electronic. The basic case will be the same.

I attached two pics below so you can see what I'm referring to.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
