Default Aw4.

Hey I have a 97 cherokee with an automatic aw4 looking for a new used transmission I know they used the aw4 for many years but they are saying the 97 transmission only fits from other 97's? Info would be greatly appreciated

that's right. 97 is a stand alone year that's truly plug and play

1997, the AW4 is exactly the same as the 1990.5-1996 units, except the electrical connector for the wiring harness changed. A simple cut and splice will solve this problem.

The '97 TCM is a stand alone device.
