Default Trans swap question

I have a 91 Cherokee with a dead 4.0 and auto trans and am looking at a 98 grand Cherokee with a 4.0 that needs an auto trans. Will the tranny from the 91 fit the 98? If so would I need to get any extra parts. Plan to have the work done by a shop, but just swapping the transmissions would be alot cheaper than a rebuild. Any help on this issue would be awesome

no, your cherokee has an AW4 while the grand has a 42RE

since the grand is obd2, im sure the trans is connected to all that as well

also, having a shop do this for you would cost you a fortune

Well then that sucks lol. The most reliable shop in town said 1700.00 for a trans rebuild, I'm looking for a better deal in my area.
