Default Need help with 97, 2wd, 4.0 5r55e drum sensor tranmisson

I have a 97 ranger 2wd, 4.0 engine and the tranny is blown. As you know the 97 ranger had a tranny for that year only no other 5R55E will cross to work in the 97. My 5R55E tranny has the drum sensor. Can I put in a 5R55E from a 97 ranger without the drum sensor? I can find a lot of 97 5R55E from rangers without the drum sensor for 100 to 300 bucks but finding one with the drum sensor is almost impossible for a reasonable price in my area of Washington state or within 300 miles to go get.
Any help would be appreciated.
I did find a ford bulletin where it appears they were taking the 97 5R55E in the ranger and disconnecting them maybe I was reading it wrong.

Hmmm, is it necessary?

That is what I am asking, is it necessary to use a 5R55E w/o the drum sensor in a 97 ranger that had a tranny with a drum sensor? Are they interchangeable plug and play? Looking at that service bulletin maybe not, someone must know the answer out there?
