I have looked around a little and found very little info on this swap. Anybody know what would be involved swapping this into a 95 XJ with a 4.0?

Why would you swap in a WEAKER tranny??????? That why it's not a common swap. You'll find some swaps from 42rle to AW4 in Grand Cherokee forums, just do it in reverse

The aw4 is popular for a reason. Keep it and spend your money on a weak point which is likely to be your axles.

Why swap? Because I can get a smoking deal on one with a advance adapter rubicrawler. Thought it might be a cheaper alternative to a terra low 4 to 1 kit. I have not had any trouble with the aw 4 and will probably keep it.
