Default 95 a4 in 97 f-body

I am selling my tranny to a buddy of mine and just want to make sure i wont encounter any problems when putting my a4 from my 95 in to his 97 I am sure I wont but felt like double checking.

Won't work..different Valve Body, Case, and Wiring. 1995 is a whole different thing internally..it's one of a kind..

damn I read that 95-'97 are interchangeable, as long as you swap to the correct PWM solenoid. hmm

Well as long as it bolts up and the wiring is done correctly wouldn't it be possible to just get the pcm tuned to run a 95 trans. since its just the internals that differ

I don't know bout that..my Tranny guy broke it all down one day for me, basically it wasn't possible to take the 1995 into anything newer...I was looking into it for my swap.

ahh well I guess all we can do is try worst that could happen is a days worth of work gone to waste. I understand exactly what your saying just wondering if the tranny is all different inside but can be wired/bolted up it should only be a tuning problem at that. The computer would just have to be configured as a 95.

Well either way ill give it a shot so i should post up some results tomorrow of the outcome

There are actually 2 95 models. Most of the early 95s are different. Some late model 95s are the same internally as the 96-97.
