They're not exactly bullet proof, but if the one you're looking at shifts smoothly and seems to have no issues I wouldn't be afraid to pick one up.

I say this with the assumption that you're referring to the transmission in a Grand Cherokee? I don't really have much knowledge about what they built over there...

It looks like it checks out to me... Like I said, If it shifts and drives well, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it, especially with such low numbers on the clock.
