You are correct that all of the turbo FWD's use the F4A33-1 trannys so they will all bolt up. But, there are internal differences (unfortunately I'm not aware of what they are, just that supposedly they exist) that make them different. The biggest thing that stands out is the fact that the 2G has a lock-up torque converter which is controlled by the TCU. I bet you'd be safe using any of the 95-99 trannys.
