The current equivalent to dextron/mercon II,(not sure offhand what it is as I havnt bought trans fluid in a while, read the bottles) DO NOT USE ATF+ anything in the AW4.

1993 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0L has AW4. I think thats why someone did recomend ATF, they dont know that the 1993 did have AW4.

Im not sure if it was a few years or just one (93) but they most certainly did mate aw4's to the 4.0 in the gc.

Huh, yeah, I've never seen one, even running a tranny shop lol. Probably because they don't break. In out shop we used mercon III in them. Any of the atf+ fluid is fine also. just extra friction modifers etc.

Recommended is Mercon, Dexron II can be used if Mercon is not available. Per the 93 ZJ repair manual.
