5r55w to5r55s swap questions- need info please

Gents,
I have a 2002 4.6 4x4 with the 5r55w. I need to know what issues you have when doing this swap. They are by all accounts the same transmission right? Any help you could give is greatly appreciated!

Any thoughts? I have put a 2002 transmission from a 4.0 V6 into a 2004 V6 but have not done this the opposite way. I am aware of the improvements of the s over the w regarding gear ratios but I can't help but think this is a plug and play installation. I would like to hear from somebody who is actually done the swap. thanks a bunch as always.
