Default auto trans swap

What is the simplest option for a auto trans swap? My trans is toast, what can i swap in its place that is the easiest option? I am considering a a remaned aw4 since thats what it had from the factory, but if there is a better option for minimal effort swap i would like to do that. thanks in advance

the AW4 is by far the best trans you'll ever install in your XJ. They take a heavy beating and are reliable.

The AW4 and 4.0 were a perfect match all I would care for in my XJ that I off road only for the most part.
