Why would you want to ????????????


The Grand Cherokee ZJ wasn't made until 1993, IIRC.


From what I have heard, the Grand Cherokee automatic transmission is crap compared to the XJ Cherokee.

The 93 zj is the only year that used the same trans as the xj and i'm not sure if it will bolt in a xj or not.The rest of the zj years used a different trans that is not worth the time to swap one they are known for going out.

And then, only the early part of the year.

No. Get a used trans. What's wrong with his? They rarely fail.

I think a bolt on the flex plate backed out and wore a hole in the front housing and he lost fluid all at once but drove another mile or two. I have not gone to check it out yet and will have to bring it over to my place to do that, trailer time.
