Long story short - I have a CPS from a '99 XJ in my Jeep (oval connector, flat pins) but my Jeep is a '93 (oval connector, round pins). Are the two different CPSs exactly the same other than the connector or are there other differences in the two? Could I cut the connector off of the '99 CPS and solder the connector from a '93 CPS onto it so it will work with my Jeep?
Long story long - I swapped a '99 AX-15 into my '93 Jeep but didn't think to check the CPS before installing the transmission (and I figured that if worst came to worst I could just swap in my good CPS after the fact since it's fairly easy). Well I got to the last step in the project, which was plugging in the CPS, and I found out that Jeep changed the connector... So I went to replace the CPS with the correct one (the one I took off my '93 AX-15) and even after hitting the bolts with PB blaster many times over 2-3 days one of them still snapped and the other isn't moving.
I have a spare external slave bellhousing so eventually, in a week or two, I'll be dropping the trans again to swap that on and fix the problem properly.. but I kindof need the Jeep running again ASAP. I have a couple spare '93 CPSs laying around so I'm trying to figure out if I could cut the connector off one of those and solder it onto the '99 CPS which is stuck in my Jeep to make it work for the time being.
