You can absolutely put a used transmission in. If you don't want to code EGS in the used transmission for your car, remove the valve bodies from both transmissions, swap your old EGS into the used transmission, and then follow proper fill procedures. All of this information is readily available on this forum and the internet.

good luck.

... and install a Zip Kit and solenoids in the valve body while your at it.
