You want 4669938, http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/more...243&cc=1354104 (aka Bosch 0280155784). No real reason to get brand new, especially at that price, when you can pick up a nicely refurbished set from some folks on here such as Programbo

This sucks. I still cant remove my broken temp sender thays at the back of the motor. The crappy brass is just too soft. I tried pb blaster and an easy out and the easy out could basically go in forever. It put a hole on it somehow becausr now coolant leaks through it...

sorry for hijacking, but does anyone have/ know of correct voltages for the TCM wiring harness? My 95 XJ is stuck in 4th no lockup D, stays in 1st in 1-2 selection, and 3rd selection gives me 3rd no lock up. Its like the TCM is unplugged but it is. I have checked said TCM in another cherokee and its fine. any help would be appreciated.
Cruiser’s Trans Plug Refreshing
Over near the transmission dipstick tube are 2 rather large connectors. One is black and the other gray. These 2 connectors carry all the info between TPS, TCU, NSS, speed sensor, and transmission solenoids.
Unplug each one, visually inspect for corrosion or bent pins, spray them out with electrical contact cleaner and plug them back in.
Additionally, if your Jeep is an 87 to 90 Renix, it’s always a good idea to reach up under the glovebox area and unplug the connector to the TCU and spray it out along with the receptacle of the TCU. While you’re there, find the fuse right in that area for the TCU. Remove it and spray out it’s receptacle and clean any corrosion from the fuse.

We had a round one. I couldnt find square ones around here. Its just got the reverse threads or whatever so you screw it in to the left. But it just kept going and going and i was worried we were going to ruin the hole thing and cause more problems. It didnt budge though and we backed it out. Im gonna try and go to a machine shop and see what they say or can do to help.
