It would take a lot of wiring. You would need a transmission console inside. Wires running from it to the computer on the transmission. And even more wires still to go from the trans to the engine. It can be done, for how much I do not know.

sounds like a good project.LOL but i wonder how much it would cost with junk yard parts?

The biggest thing you might want to check into is whether or not the electronics for the brain for a '95 engine is big or modern enuff to control whatever auto you want to install.
-
What he said. Look into how the shifting is controlled. Is it an internal brain so all you do is run wires from the shifter to the trans. Or is there an external brain that needs to be wired into the motor to also control motor functions. I know on most new vehicles the trans and the motor are controlled together as one unit electronically.

Any Eaton Fuller Automated transmission that is newer than a 1st Generation needs a signal from the engine. I do not know about the 1st gen auto shifts from eaton but the 2nd and 3rd gens do need engine info.

the 1st gen eatons also need a signal from the engine
