I believe this would be true for the following reasons;
* '96 is the 1st year with OBD2
* post '96 have immobilisers fitted and also communicate with the transmission computer.
I would imagine that a '98 PCM wants a signal from these 2 inputs, and they will not be present
You can buy a reman '96 from various USA sources if you Google it
56041 is the part num, followed by various 3 digits that suit a '96, including 199-201, 282, 293 and various others..you must check..auto makes a difference
