Default What year AW4 transmissions are compatible with my 98?
I'm in the process of converting my 1998 Jeep Cherokee 2 door to 4WD.

I need to locate a AW4 transmission and transfer case that came from a 4x4 Cherokee. I'm wondering what year of AW4 transmissions will be compatible with my 98?

Also, will I need a new computer since I'm installing a 4x4 transmission? I'm guessing no but just figured I'd ask...

Well if you lived near by I Have a tranny for you out of a 98. But I think best bet is to check junk yards. I got my spare trans for 300 bulks

98 was the first year that both input and output speed sensors were installed in the tranny, and the reluctor changed from a 2 finger to a 4 finger.

This is important because your TCU will have to match the tranny in order for it to shift properly.

Your best option is to find a donor 98 and grab the tranny, TCU, and the harness from it.

So essentially the donor would have to be a 98-01, just not a 97 or below, correct?

Also, I filled out my profile and everything so feel free to point me in the right direction =]

big job. I would look into buy a parted out 4x4 the same year. Do you have the front end ready to go in.
