so an aw4 swap might be possible - depends on the year truck it comes out of. 1987-1990 AW4s have the correct spline count, but you still need to find the bellhousing and torque converter to mate it to the 2.5L, as well as the TCU or use a shift controller

Here's some info:

oh well you didn't specify! lol

You have a AX-5 trans now. You are looking at swapping an AX-15 out of a later cherokee. http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/ax5.htm

There are a few ways of doing it but you're not gonna like any of them very much...

Or there is this option - using a GM transmission
