As Long as both vans have the same engine... If they are both 3.3l's then yes the 95 trans should bolt right into the 1997, they are both 41TE and even the 2007's are still using the same...
The easy way to find out is from your local auto parts store.If it is the same engine in both vans, there is a good chance the starter is the same. If the engines are different, then it is unlikely...
