They have two different output shafts. The 4x4 trans has a longer shaft. It is possible to swap shafts but it unfortunately means completely disassembling the trans so its simply not practical.
As for what years will work Im not 100% positive but I believe the only difference from 2001 and up is where the speed sensors are located. Internally all the 5r55e's stayed the same over the years.
