* Specific Model: "Chevy" is broad. You need to specify the *exact* model (e.g., Silverado 1500, C1500, S10, etc.). Transmission compatibility is highly dependent on the specific truck model. A transmission from a Silverado won't necessarily fit an S10.
* Engine: The engine and transmission must be compatible. A transmission from a V6 engine might not work with a V8 engine, even if the trucks are the same year and model.
* Transmission Type: Ensure the transmissions are the same type (e.g., automatic vs. manual, and the specific model of automatic or manual transmission). Even within automatic transmissions, there are various versions with different bolt patterns, input shafts and other differences.
* Minor Variations: There's a *small* chance of minor differences between the 1995 and 1996 models that could impact compatibility, though this is less likely than the above points.
In short: While it's *likely* compatible if the models are identical, you MUST verify the specifics of the transmission and engine in both trucks before attempting the swap. Checking the transmission identification numbers and comparing them to parts catalogs or online resources is essential. A mechanic familiar with these trucks can help ensure compatibility.
