if you dont change the gear you shouldnt get a slip code, as far as I know an ls1 f-body converter will NOT work in a C5, I believe an LT1 4L60e converter will though. I would call/e-mail a converter manufacturer to make sure..

It is honestly so much of a pain to swap converters in these cars I would go new unless you know exactly where it came from, the last vig I bought from tbyrne was here in 3 days. Swapping converters is not something you want to do twice on these.

IIRC, 99+ C5's are more prone to slip codes than your 98, so you should be ok. But as far as what's interchangeable with what, call the manufacturer.
