because if you force the connectors together..you could end up bending or breaking one of the pins

and then

i would think that it depends if you have a automatic or standard car. i think you must find a car that has the same transmission as the one you have. I am petty sure that 95-95 are the same computer. not too sure

Some 95's were obdI, and some were obdII. Check the Ecu for inputs first. If the 95 RS has one connector going to the Ecu, then make sure the Ecu from the GS does too.
