Default Automatic Transmission model??

Hi all,

Quick question about my new '99 cherokee. I have an automatic transmission that lists AW 30-43LE as the model# on the id plate on the tranny. My chilton manual lists the 30 as a 3-speed transmission but, my shifter inside has 1-2, 3, D.

Thanks!

You have the Inline 6 engine... then it should be the AW4 4 speed auto.

Automatic transmissions
1984 – 1986 : Chrysler A904 3-speed automatic, used with 2.5 L I4 and 2.8 L V6.
1994 – 2000 : Chrysler 30RH 3-speed automatic, used with 2.5 L I4.
1987 – 2001 : Aisin-Warner AW-4 4-speed automatic used with 2.5 L I4 and 4.0 L I6.

All this assumes you have a Cherokee and not a Grand Cherokee. Those trannys are different from those listed by prerunner.

Blue is right, is it a Grand cherokee or a Cherokee?

If you have a 99 XJ (Regular Cherokee) and it has the 4.0 motor and Auto matic tranny, then you have an AW-4.

Definitely a XJ. So I have the AW-4 than.

Thanks all.
PS. I saw someone recommended when picking up a new vehicle to change the power steering fluid (130k miles). Anyone know where the plug is to drain this? The chilton manual did not saw.
