Default Transmission swap

so the trains went in my 98 gs. I have a 2000 game I've been using for parts. The transmission fits and all the wire harnesses connect properly, except 1....the shift selector. I've tried calling dealerships but I've been stonewalled everywhere. Anyone have any insight on what I can do or am I kinda just effed in A?

Are there the same number of wires on each harness? Couldnt you just swap the plug's and wire accordingly?

Good idea, I was thinking that, but I wasn't sure if there were other options. Where'd be a good place to figure out which wire goes where? I'm definitely not the best electrician lol

When I get a chance I can check if I have the schrmatics. You're talking about the harness that goes into the actual shifter in the consoul right?

I think he means the module that is on the tranny where the shift leaver is I just replaced my 99 trans with a aristo tt trans I had to swap that module over so that the plug would fit...

Yes that is exactly it. There's an electrical part I'm assuming is the module for the shift selector that doesn't fit with the corresponding piece from the car. I've been trying to figure this out but am getting no help in the real world. And I refuse to believe I'm **** out of luck because everything else matches up. Am in desperate need of some help....I need my baby. Spent far too much time and money on this thing to have to scrap it because of one plug out 6 doesn't fit but the other 5 do.
