Swapping in a newer AW4 (input speed equipped, I don't know exactly what year) into an '88 4.0 AW4 XJ. Far as I can tell, the output speed sensors housed in the extension housing changed. I know the spline counts will be different, the XJ will be receiving a new transfer case for this. I'm also aware the bellhousing MAY be slightly different due to the crank sensor change, I'm prepared for that as well.
I'm good with wiring, so swapping plugs/harnesses isn't an issue. According to this thread, last post, I can just swap my old output speed sensor and my old rotor onto the new trans and be good to go.

What I need to know is, can anybody confirm or deny if the output speed sensor information is true, and does anybody know of any other potential issues in this swap? Torque converters the same, solenoids operate the same, etc. It would be a real drag to get my old (still functioning) trans all tore out to find something stupid like the new output shaft will not accept my old stuff.
Any help is appreciated, I have until this weekend to find out if I can make this swap work or not. Just trying to make sure I have all the bases covered.
TIA
