LobsterThief Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Picked this up at the junkyard -- was told it would fit my 91 MJ. Anywho, I ended up fixing my old tranny (it was just an overheating problem) but now that I'm looking at this thing, all of the connections are on the opposite side as mine. Anybody know the model of this automatic transmission? I've Googled all of the visible markings already. Will this work on my MJ? If so, I'll probably save it ;) Thanks!

LobsterThief Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 After some more research, I'm positive it's the A500 (42RE).. Does anybody know if this will work in our Comanches? :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 The bellhousing bolt pattern doesn't look right for the 4.0 or 2.5. I believe 94+ ZJs with the 4.0 had a 42RE, but I don't think that one would fit. And even if it did, it'd probably be a PITA to get to work. Plus the 42RE isn't the best auto out there, and that sucker's only 2wd. You'll be better off finding an AW-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 :agree: LobsterThief, why would you buy a tranny based on a "I was told by" recommendation from a junk yard guy or whoever? He's doing his job, earning his sell commission. Best time for research is before you buy, not after the purchase. Unless you got it free. C'mon man...

I'd used them before and they never wronged me, so I thought it was alright. Plus it was super cheap ($190 with a 100-day warranty). Anywho, I just spoke with them and they said to bring it by and they'll swap it for the correct one or give me my money back :D Thanks guys.

carnuck Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's an A500 from a Dakota with probably the 4 cyl (not 2.5L) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobsterThief Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I already returned it and swapped it for an AW-4 :) thinking about putting it up on Craigslist and the classifieds to finance an AX5 swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
