i need to get a new trans but this is my first jeep and i dont know if i have to get a 95 year specific or if they all are the same. its auto...

jomps

most common auto is the aw4...i think the older trans maybe were different but dont know specifics about model and year change

It's definitely the AW4. I believe they changed half way through 91 to a different spline count. You would be safe with anything after that until 2001.

I believe the renix (87-90) AW4 is different then the newer ones. Try looking for a tranny within a couple years of yours(93-96)

Well yes and no. Can't remember years so please bear with me. The early early ones have less electronics in them.
In rhe mid 90s (I think) the spline count changed from 21-23. In late 97 the changed the connectors.
Things I do know...... You can use really just about any years tranny but it would require some work. Some more, some less.
Type AW4 in the search function and it will bring up a wealth of info.
It will provide you with better info than what my aging mind can provide. I worked 12 hours today and I'm beat..... Just can't seem to be able to stay away from here.

ok, tell me what you guys think of this so i dont run out and buy one. in D it will shift 1 into 4 with no 2nd or 3rd but if i downshift it into 3rd it goes 3rd. i put it in 3 and it shifts 1 into 3 no 2nd. and on a very so often occasion it will rev high in first 3k to be exact i let off gas and it goes into 3. im very confused has new fluid in it. and 2 coolers.

Did you try to pull any codes?

kjm1984

how do i do that?

Unknown XJ

If I remember correctly you turn your key on and off on and off. Your check engine light will start blinking. Then pause then start again. If for example it blinks twice pauses then blinks four times.
You have code "24" Count the blinks and make note the numbers..... Idk if yours has a diagnostic port but I'm sure it does.
Take her to a parts store and have them hook a reader to her. Or you can buy one.
Hope this helps. Either your issue is really simple or something screwy is going on.

well i did the code check and it has nothing except 35 and 33 for my ac system.

is there anyway i can jump a wire to make it go into 2nd to see what it does? like how can i force the solenoids to select second.

Unknown XJ

There's a write on a selector switch for that.... There's even a really nice clean unit that you can buy online.
