I have a 2002 Rodeo LS/ automatic, 4x4, Will a 1998 or 1999 transmission with the same features fit
I've had this rodeo 6 yrs now and had the tranny rebuilt twice, first time was 2 months after I bought it, then 1 year later. both times it was converter failure. A year ago it would not move in drive, had to goto 1st then manualy shift it to 2nd then 3rd then drive. one day I came to a stop and forgot to shift to 1st but it moved like normal and has for a while. Now it's slipping in all gears at a takeoff, the rear end shutters a couple times then it will move. it does slip between gears but goes when it gets to drive, yesterday it got to a point where it wouldn't move, shut it off, let it cool for 10 minutes then start it up it would go for 1/2 mile and start slipping again, a mechanic I know has a tranny he thinks is a 98 or 99, i'm wondering if it will fit this 2002. Thanks for any info.

If it shows that the transmission will interchange, that doesn't mean that it's a 100% bolt-in. There may be fittings and cables and wires that need modification, and maybe mountings, etc. There's always something to mess with.
It's always best to swap out exact years.
