 Regarding transmission controls, it appears that Ford changed the sensor and wiring at what they call "97 1/4". Early 97 has a Transmission Range Sensor and later 97 has a Digital Transmission Range Sensor. The DTRS uses more wires, so the two 97 5.0 transmission harnesses are also different. Since the early and late 97 transmission inputs are different, the corresponding 97 PCM's should also be different.

Presumedly, the complete 96 transmission is compatible with the early 97 electrics.
