I have just brought a 1989 jeep cherokee with a 3 speed automatic and iam wondering if I got a 4 transmisson would it work on my 89 model ?

Iam new to jeeps I have only had it 4 days.

 

89 or 98? Or both?

Your question is confusing.

 

I'm guessing 98 is a dyslexic typo.
Besides, an 89 Cherokee already has a 4 speed auto.
Need more info and explanation Lmao_37.
Oh, and Welcome to the Forum!

 

I have a 3 speed automatic. I have only had it a few days and it's the first Jeep Cherokee I have owned.

Also I have a 1998 hyundai so it's easy to type wrong year.

 

Meaning?

87 and later had 4 speed automatics.

 

Lmao_37. Please explain why you think it is a 3 speed automatic. As Cruiser and I both explained, it should already have a 4 speed auto. That's the way it came from the factory.

 

The gear shifter I have just taken a photo of says it's a 3 speed unless it has an overdrive but I havnt found anything about an overdrive in the specs.

 

D with a circle around it indicates overdrive Lmao.

 

You're just screwing with us, right?.........


As stated above, the "D" enclosed in a circle indicates overdrive, or 4th gear.

Now........please put down your tools, and slowly step away from the Jeep.

 

Shoulda posted that right off the bat.

Coulda been that "Hyundai" thing going on I guess.

 

No I think I joined the wrong forum I guess

Hyundai accent engine swap

I have only owned 2 other cars 1 fort Taurus and 1 hyundai accent which was a money pit as it has had 2 clutches and 1 engine.

I only got my driving licence when I moved here I use to ride 1000cc sports bike and didn't have a car licence till I moved here.

This is my first Jeep so go ahead mock the new guy as I don't know that much about em but Sunday I changed all the prop shaft uv joints and have the drive shaft uv joints to do this weekend. So if I come on here and try get some tech advise as iam new to the vehicle am I wasting my time.

 

Nah. You just need to give us more accurate info so we can help you.

Is English not your first language? Not a big deal to us.
