You might try the Grand Cherokee section....Until somebody more in the know comes along, I'm pretty much clueless, but maybe, might want to use your speed sensor?

No, the bellhousing is different between the two. The 42re was used with the 4.0, the 44re was used with the 5.2. The bolt patterns and starter locations are different.
