Default transmission???

i have a 1993 jeep Cherokee how can i find out what type of tranny i have??? its the 4.0 2wd auto. 1-2 3 D N R P

i also have a 1988 it is a 4.0 4x4 auto with the same gear selections as the 93 but has the power switch for the tranny in the dash,is it the same as the 93?

If your lower position on the shifter reads 1-2 you have the rare early AW-4 trans in your 93 ZJ. The 88 XJ's trans will be a direct swap...

You'll need to source a few parts but you have most of it now.

You posted this in the Grand Cherokee section... i assumed your 93 was a Grand Cherokee (ZJ)

The Grand wasnt yet made in 88... so i assumed that was a regular Cherokee (XJ)

Welcome... tons of info on converting to 4wd on here. Click this link and start reading all the conversion therads... several are lengthy and chock full of info. It's a bolt in conversion..

My rig is a 94 2wd that was converted to 4wd with an 88 parts rig.
