1997 to 2000 Windstar tranny

Is there a big difference between a 1997 Windstar 3.8l tranny and a 2000 Windstar 3.8L tranny? Do they use the same equipment? I would like to diagnose my tranny with a scanner but my software cartridge only goes to '97 models!
I might be able to pull it off if they use the same equipment, but I have no clue...:disappoin
