Can I add the "Power/ Comfort" trans switch to my 92 XJ?

Our local U- Pull It has 10-12 XJ's at any time. I see the power/ comfort switches and wonder if I can add it to my 92 which does not have it. Does this switch effect the TC lockup or something?

all it does is change shift points. the models that dont have it are hardwired for "power".
The comfort selection feathers the clutches together, causing more wear.
