Default Compatible transmission for swap???

I am steadily searching for donor vehicles to start my 4wd swap. I keep finding conflicting data as to which transmissions will "drop in" with no wiring changes, new modules, ecu's....

Here's what I have now:
1998 XJ 2wd
4.0L
AW4

I know that the 98 will be a direct match (obviously). But I hear the 97 year changed trans setup halfway through the year, and the 01 may be different as well. Does anyone have definite knowledge regarding which ones I should be looking for?

And any firsthand experience in swapping one of a different year or setup would be great. If it is not ridiculous, I don't mind having to change some wiring... just don't want to get crazy with it and end up breaking something.

Thanks in advance!

I believe you need a late 97 to 99 AW4

I am afraid you are probably right. I wish I had a pre-97 that had a few more years to choose from.

I have searched on here and googled until my fingers bled and for some reason the NAXJA thread did not show (or my ADD kicked in and I started looking for something completely unrelated).

Thanks again!
