jimoshel Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I have a 1998 Cherokee sport, 4.0l, Aw4, 4wd. Wrecked but runs great. I have a 1994 Grand Cherokee,4.0l, AW4, 4WD, show room condition body and interior, blown engine. Just got thru talking to the previous PO and found out the tranny was slipping when he sold it. I think that's how the motor got wiped out. I want to swap the drivetrain from the '98 into the '94. I think I will have to swap ECU'S and trans controller. I hope not but possibly the wiring also. Would appreciate any and all thoughts, opinions, ideas and hints and kinks any one has on this. Jim :hmm:
Geonovast Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 The Auto in the 94 ZJ won't be an AW-4. AW-4 was only used in the ZJ in 93.

JeepcoMJ Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 The motor will work, tho. But it will need the flex plate and accessory brackets and accessories from the ZJ's motor.
jimoshel Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 This afternoon I crawled underneath and checked the two trannys. They are identical, exterior wise. So what gives? They have the P,R,N,4-3,2,1 shift pattern. They look just like a '89 AW4 I have on the ground.
Geonovast Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 :needpics: If that is indeed an AW-4 in the ZJ, I will stand corrected.
Eagle Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 :needpics: If that is indeed an AW-4 in the ZJ, I will stand corrected. You should be correct. The ZJ supposedly used the AW4 only for 1993, and after that went to some Chrysler transmission. At least, that's what I have always been told by Jeep/Chrysler tech friends. I've never worked on any ZJ of any year or configuration so I don't know.
kyleag89 Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 The horrible Chrysler trans blew and someone smart installed the AW4 into the 94 ZJ.. Also 93 was the only year to have a factory installed AW4.
jimoshel Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 The transmission is out and laying on the ground. It is a AW4 with a build date of April 1998. Draw your own conclusion.

If it's the '98 trans from the xj, then that's right. If it's from the zj, someone obviously swapped it in. Make sure you adapt the wiring from the old trans onto the new one
Comanche County Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I believe the autos were 42REs. Inconsequential as it may be.
