I wouldn't have a clue but to give others a clue could you tell them specifically which transmission you are talking about. There are at least 3. I'd think the electronics differences alone would rule it out.

will a 94 transmisson fit a 99?Aside from tires, maybe, and a few fluids, I seriously doubt that a second gen '94 Caravan is compatible with a 3rd gen '99. If I recall correctly, OBD II (Onboard Diagnostics II) was introduced for the first time in the 1996 model year Caravan. Since OBD II queries the transmission and reports codes specific to a 3rd gen transmission design, this alone should convince you NOT to attempt mixing and matching ANY component outside of the 1996-2000, 3rd generation Caravan... which is what your '99 is.
If I had to guess, your '99 transmission may be backward compatible to '96... but that's a big MAYBE. If the tranny we're talking about is a 4-speed from a 1994 with 3.3L motor, ya gotta remember that early 1990's 4-speed trannys were AWFUL. Here's an example from Edmunds...

Basically, I wouldn't attempt to put a '94 tranny into a '99 Caravan for any reason. But that's just me. :)
