Sell car and extra transmission and buy a newer car... you win

The 99 will have a different speed sensor (OSS vs VSS). This is NOT a "plug and play" repair.

You obviously don't understand the difference between an VSS and OSS sensor. Check out the following link. It's for a T45, but the concept is the same.

An extended range speedcal can convert OSS to VSS.

Some 4R70W's have a plug installed where the VSS sensor should be. If so, then it may be possible to move the VSS senor from the old transmission.

Or why not get a transmission from a 96-98 V6 4R70W model year and stay "plug and play"?
