I'm hoping it will be that easy.

I'm ok with medium level electrical wiring, but have limited experience with electronics.

What resistor (spec and type) should be used, and how should it be wired?

None of the '93 -'97 4L60E's are directly interchangeable, except '93 and '94!!! Here's a list of yearly differences that will show you why. Yes, some years will fit in others and may not even throw...
