'96 explorer 4r70w into '00?

[DarrellP]

I am under the assumption that the transmission from a 96 explorer 5.0 auto 2wd will swap directly into a 2000 explorer 5.0 auto 2wd. Am I wrong or is there something I'm missing? When I search for local transmissions at the salvage yards it only pulls up 99-01 transmissions. So I was thinking I was good to go until I searched just for fun. I have a 96 explorer auto trans and can get a 2000 explorer cheap that runs great and needs a trans.

you will have to re pin the connector going into the trans
