Are you keeping the stall still, the 3200 that is. I don't see what the problem of using a 94 tranny, but I'm probably wrong.

There are PWM differnces and wiring differences. It can be made to work but is not a 100% dropin

I am not clear enough on what has to be done to feel confident in handing out the needed mods but can say that the 94 tranny is not PWM and the 95+ trannies all are to some degree, the wiring differences have to do with that, the 94 has no PWM to control so it lacks the wiring.

Hrm, guess that would make my pcm go crazy when it tried to lock the converter, heh. I need to find out what I can do to make it work, and if its even worth my time.

Ok, so heres the list of problems from what i've heard.

-No pwm, so wiring is different., not sure how to fix it
-Vss, so if i put my tailshaft from my 97, it will fix that.
-Different input shaft? That means my converter from my 97 won't work i take it.

I had a guy on cz28.com tell me 94's will just not work because of they didn't have PWM, so i guess i'm outta luck on this one.
