I have a 92 jeep cherokee laredo and i need to replace the crankshaft censor do i have to drop trans or is there a easier way

 

I really don't know, but it seems extreme to have to drop the trans to replace an engine sensor. It's probably on the bellhousing like all the rest of them, I would think. If it's a V8, it can get interesting to get to it. As far as I know, it's on the top of the trans case behind the right (pass) cylinder head. First thing is check the wiring for being burnt by the exhaust.

On the 4.0 I6, it's on the driver's side in the same place.

Welcome to CF. There is a lot of good information here but keep in mind this is an opinion site and not all replies are factual. We'll give you advise from our experiences and good guesses. the rest is up to you.

 

On mine I had to undo the transfercase mount and raise it with a jack to get the sensor to clear the firewall if memory serves.
