AW4 shift solenoids not what's in the Transmission

[hakukamana]

I have an AW4 in an 89' Eliminator, I ordered  the 3 pack solenoid kit for the AW4 for the correct years. I get into the trans and the solenoids are not even close to the correct ones. They won't mount correctly they face the wrong direction, the connectors are wrong. Verified the order with the vendor, nope those are for your 89 AW4, but that's not whats in the transmission. Anybody got a clue?

May have been swapped out or whoever sent you those solenoids may have their information wrong. I would compare the ones that you have to a 95 Cherokee aw4 and see if they are the same as what is in your Transmission.

 

I tried to use the solenoids out of my 88 AW4 for my 95 Cherokee AW4  and it was the same difference is that what you're describing

Here's what I ordered, its suppose to be (2) shift solenoids and (1) lock up solenoid. These are not going to fit in the existing solenoid positions, or be able to be mounted correctly.

This appears to be what is in the transmission

3 times the price of the other solenoids.
