Will,

Those XMSNs won’t swap. The ‘88 Sierra uses a THM400 and the Yukon uses a 4L60-E. Although the bolt pattern maybe the same, the wiring harness won’t match up and the XMSN won’t shift properly.

I’d find a reputable shop that can rebuild your THM400 or clear off a spot on your bench to do it yourself. XMSN rebuilds can be tricky, however it would be a great time to add in a shift kit.

Here’s a resource for the reference:

Good luck!
