Some functions moved around between the PCM, and the transmission around '94-'95. I can't remember the specifics. I do know that it is best to keep things paired together. Each model year transmission, PCM, and wiring harness stay together. Mark will probably see this thread and hopefully chime in.

The 95 and up E4OD had many improvements over the previous years. If it was me I would keep the 95 and rebuild it, or you should take the 92 and modify it using 95 parts. It boils down to improved internals, makes it last longer and function better overall.

How much do you guys think a rebuild is if I brought the trans in myself and trans place didn't have to remove it.
or
I found a 92 with 10,000 miles for $275
(and put a new solenoid pack in)
idk which would be better in the long run

What is wrong with the old transmission?
Anything that old is all about condition. A used one is a crap shoot no matter what revision level. A rebuild is expensive no matter what. Last I checked, cheap rebuilds were about $900 with pathetic support.
If you get the used one, renew all of the wiring connections and get a fluid lab analysis at 1500 or so miles; it would be cheapest and maybe better than a cheap rebuild.
IF you really need a rebuild?

I bought a rebuilt transmission from a local company for about $2500; labor to install was about $750.

Don't mean to offend your (the OP) intelligence, but more than once people have swapped transmissions only to have the same issues so I must ask. How have you determined that the 95' E4OD needs a rebuild?

The trans has been slipping like crazy lately and has been leaking from the pan and the torque inverter seal. It wouldn't be uncommon tho put in a quart of atf in about every week or so, I would check the fluid level every day and it finally gave up the gohst yesterday. I was hanging out with some friends and I noticed it loosing power, then not moving at stoplights and finally I parked it and left it for the next day, a friend and I flat towed it to my house and I haven't touched it since because I've been incredibly busy.

I would get a monster e4od. I think you can get them for around 1800. I should have went that route when mine failed, but I decided to go with a 4 speed T18. Go big or go home is what I learned from my experience
