I would think so, but i am not 100% because they switched to OBD2 in 96 not sure if there is a difference in the aw4's electronics package. should be able to search this site or google it to get a 100% answer. good luck

Yes it will work. '93 is the only year for the AW4 in the ZJ.

So I've been lookin and I found another jeep I'm going to buy. It has a 98 4.0L i6 just like my jeep now but its inside a 97. Mine is a 96 and I'm lookin at doing a transmission swap from the 96 to the 97 just to be clear it will work with out any mods or anything like that correct?

A '96 ZJ 4.0L auto trans will work in a '97 ZJ w/the 4.0L.

Yes the transmission from the 97 will work in the 96 but the 96 transmission will NOT work in the 94 I know this because I just ran into this issue with my 94, it has the 42rh with the 96 has the 42re.
