This is a link someone here gave me when I was looking to buy a trans. It will be the Stage 2 you want unless your putting out more than 500HP

If it's the 46 RE and yours also is it should fit. I'm not sure what year they switched from the 46RH to the 46RH. The RE is the electronically controlled one.

well i bought the 97 46re tranny the dealer said it is not an exact match. mine is a 46re. i was told i could just change my flywheel and torque convertor to the parts from the 97. is this correct is there anything else to do?
