[CaseyB7979]

Hi i have a 1997 ford Explorer Sport 4.0 Sohc. I recently bought a transmission from a 1999 Explorer. The transmissions are a exact match besides the 97 has a vss hole the 1999 does not. I would like to use the 99 trans i got it for a good price and do not have funds to buy another trans. I don't really mind if i loose my speedometer as long as i can get it to move and shift? Thanks in advance for any answers.
