yes they are compatible.. when you remove the trans pan at the forward-drivers side on the trans you will see an 1 1/2 snapring in a groove-- remove the snapring and the piston should slide down out of the hole and the spring(s) should follow ---the spring(s) is probably broken causing the 2nd gear shift flare-- install new spring followed by updated design piston then snapring and your done---when you change fluid just in front of the pan on the bottom ther should be a rubber cap/plug remove that and you should be able to see the torque converter bump the engine with the starter until you see the 11mm plug screwed into the converter and remove it--that will drain about 8qts of old fluid out and when you put the pan and the plug back in/on it will take roughly 12-13 qts to fill it back up hope this helps
