00 auto to 01 AE auto.

I am planning on swapping my 2000 auto to a 2001 AE auto. DaveB says the drivers side might need to be changed. My dealership says they both look like the are interchangable. Has anybody done this.

last time i heard the axles needed to be changed only for the 5spd swap. The axle lengths are different on the ae i think. Why you doing a auto swap, why not just do a 5spd swap?

According to checker auto the A.E has a left side different the normal one. I might as well replace starter to since it sounds bad when starting.

Do Auto AE transmissions come with the VLSD in it? Maybe that's why it's different?
