Default 95 trans swap

So i just bought a 95 blazer with burnt up 3-4 clutches thinking id just get a junk yard unit and slap it in..well i didnt realize the 95 was a one off year and now im looking a 950+ for a rebuild. Is there anything i could do to swap in a newer year? Swap plugs on harness? Also i have a 4 bolt dust cover and im only finding 95's with a 6 bolt dust cover. What is the difference? Thanks for any help

The 4 bolt dust cover is for 2wd vehicle. The 6 bolt cover is for 4wd. Is your blazer 2wd? If not it has been changed at some point. The steps required to make a newer unit work is very costly and time consuming unless you are quite familiar with transmissions. Good luck.

There is no dimension difference at all in transmissions You can use your 4 bolt cover on a 6 bolt case just have to drill cover for larger diameter bolts.

You have a 6 bolt transmission. Be sure to flush the cooler and cooler lines very good before installing other transmission.
