2011 4.0L 4x4 Auto Transmission replacement

[heggatron]

My kiddo wrecked his tranny. My inquiry, will a 2003 ford rangers transmission fit on a 2011 ford ranger with same engine? Both are 4.0L 4x4 automatics.
I'm reading different opinions all over the internet. Some say it will just plug and play, others say it will not. From what I can tell there is a new sensor added in 2001 (ISS)
So since it's a 2003, should we be fine to swap it straight over?
If not, could someone please help us on what years could have a straight swap?
Thanks so much!

www.car-part.com says 2007-2011 will fit. Their listings are for direct drop in, no modifications. Go to that site, plug in your vehicle info and where you live, it will tell you what's available in your area used from yards that participate in that site.

That site worked great Thank you.
But I have another question that you or someone might know? My Vin number is saying that my transmission should be a 5r55E but the sticker on my transmission that we pulled off says it is a 5r55S? (if im reading the sticker correctly?) Is this a problem? did someone install the wrong tranny before me? or do they swap out pretty easily between both models?
