i get conflicting storys if the 96 is modulated ot that started in 97, the case was redesigned in 97, but not sure of internals, I do keep hearing rumors of a pin difference(1 wire in the main connector), but no one can confirm if that is true or not. This is extremely frustrating, trans worked fine behind other motor and computer, so it should be fine behind this one, but its not. I dont wanna put a TH350 or 700r4 in it, but im not gonna dump 2 grand in a 4l60e that may do the same thing
