Default Aw4 solenoid question

Have a 98 with the aw4 tranny I have a engine light on and it's showing shift solenoid B is bad. I cannot afford to buy a new set for around 2
$200 I found a set at a jeep jy but the aw4 is possibly from a 2wd. Will these solenoids work in a 4x4? Thanks

The solenoids are the same. Is it missing gears when it shifts?

If you find you must replace.

Highly recommend daccotransparts on eBay. My set was no where near thae amount in your posting. Found them after getting the Dacco part number from the local Dacco Transmission Parts office near me locally.

No it doesn't is gears when it shifts when it's cold it does fine once the tranny is hot if you stop you have to take off from 1st of you try and leave if D you can floor it and pretty much nothing happens

My 98 did te same thing. Had the 2 shift solenoids replaced and works great now! I took it to a transmission shop with an old Chrysler mechanic who is a transmission specialist. Said its the first time he's ever had to do solenoids on a Jeep cherokee in his 35 years of work

That's weird, did yours seem to feel sluggish/weak while driving down the road? Mine does that to just seems to be a lot of stress on the jeep since this has happened.

It did feel sluggish before the got replaced. But my dummy light was on and it would shift perfect cold but as soon as it got warmed up, it wouldn't hardly shift.

Exactly what mine is doing. Does fine cold but warm it up and I have to manual shift from a stop.
