Found out some new info guy from Cherokee forum says he run into the same thing he has a 94 xj bought new just recently was gonna get his trans rebuilt the trans shop pointed this out to him so being that he bought this truck new there could not have been mods he called dealership they put him in touch with what they say was a Mopar guru this guy told him that Chrysler had such an influx of these trans that they didn't always change the tags and that this is common just not noticed how true this is who knows but just for kicks how about guys running aw4 check your tags see if its 30-43le or 43-30le so we can put this to bed i figure it will definitely help someone out in the future

30-43le is the Mopar "name" for a AW4. I have seen both 2wd and 4wd versions with this number on it.

 

The one you show in the picture is definitely 4wd.

The bracket on the rear left hand side of the tranny is for the t-case linkage "bushing" mount.  If it was a 2wd, that would not be there.

 

Count the splines on the output.

From a 1996 it will be 23 spline.
