Default Lightning Trans Replace

Some what new to posting and could not find this anywhere else so hear it goes... i own a 99 lightning thats in need of a trans replace (not something im new to; i USE TO own a dodge ram) does anybody out there know if all of the harley supercharge 4r100s and the lightning 4r100s are the same? in other words if i find one from a 03 lightning or an 03 harley thats in good shape, would it fit to my engine?? or would i be splicing wires to get the thing to work right or ?? worse yet. i know the easy way would be rebuilding my trans but would rather have something that can hold a few thousand miles while i can rebuild this one to hold together better than the stock one.

The Harley 4R100 is the same as the Lightning.
I was talking to Johnny [Wiker] Lightning Saturday at the NMRA Nationals and we were talking about Len Tech trannys. Just got off their site and the prices for a performance 4R100 doesn't look bad. www.lentechautomotive.com

Glad it worked out. Did you get any other parts off the 04 Lightning?
