Difference from 97 trans to 99?

[RaiderKC]

Last week I bought a 99 limited with a bad tranny, and planed to pull the trans out of my sport since its having some issues that I need time to fix, anyways I was told even though there the same transmission that there are some differences, so can someone give me some more info on this?

Not sure what motors you have and everything... but that should let you figure it out.

a 97 5r55e has an extra sensor that the 99's did not have. basically in 97 they had a overdrive drum speed sensor.. It was eliminated by 98.. Not sure if the tranny will act right if that sensor there but its probably best to ask a pro like Glacier or any of the other tranny gurus
