2G Interchangeable Transmission, Tranfercase,and Rear Diff

[slowpoke]

I have a 95' Talon Tsi AWD automatic. My rear end has been clunking every once in awhile when I turn. I know I have a lsd rear diff because I had the dealer run the vin. My question is, what is the difference in the 97' on up automatic drivetrain vs. the 95'-96' far as transmission, tranfercase? I have been calling junkyards and the have told me at several places that their book tells them that it is different and it doesn't state why. I know the rear diff are the same on all the years for the automatic unless you have non locking. The reason i'm asking these questions is that I found a transmission, transfercase, and rear diff out of a 98' Talon for a good deal and it has only 26,xxx miles on it. My car has over 100,xxx hard miles on it. I would like to use the 98 drivetrain but I need to make sure it will work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gil

When you call the salvage yard they tell you that for awd automatic transmissions 95'-96' are not compatible to 97'-99' but they can't give you an answer why. There books or computers doesn't say... What's up with that?

Thanks,
