The trans is actually different, '96 was still using the 4T60. Everything '97 and up got the 4T65. But as far as the trans sensors/electronics I'm not sure if they're compatible. Hopefully someone else can chime in and get you more details on this. I think as long as ZZP knows what trans you have they should be able to give you what you need...but then again, it's ZZP.

I'd try to talk to them and make sure they know what you have and what you're giving them.
