I have been told to replace with a Cherokee tranny if possible. Better built and in most cases a direct bolt up?That was on a yj though and not a tj.

Chances are he has a 3 speed auto. Those are really tough transmissions that take a beating, as long as you don't ingest water like i did.
I swamped my tj's 32RH and it slipped for two years until it finally gave out. I swapped in another 32RH from www.daveysjeeps.com and all was good.
How did the transmission break?

The wranglers and cherokees have different transmissions (auto). The wranglers don't have overdrive and cherokees do. Someone mentioned to you that you could swap a cherokee transmission into a wrangler. This may be very possible because the AW4 (cherokee auto transmission) has a seperate wiring harness and computer from the engine. The only difference would be the transmission length (this would affect your driveshaft lengths and transfer case mount to crossmember bolting location). It is much easier to find a cherokee auto than it is to find a wrangler auto transmission. Depending how much work is involved in bolting it in place, it would be a great idea to make the swap just to have overdrive. They are strong transmissions as well. Hope that helps.
