Well my tranny is dead and im looking for a donor.

I'm searching craigslist and i have currently found 4 1994 trannies that i could pick up close by decently priced. Mine is a 1998 with an aw4. What years of xj trannies can i throw under my rig that will bolt and plug in?

Thanks

"1987 – 2001 : Aisin-Warner AW-4 4-speed automatic, used with 2.5 L I4 and 4.0 L I6." - Jeep years with AW4... From searching around...

The aw4 came with different wiring setups and sensors, along with different splined shafts. Im pretty sure pre '91 was a 21 spline output shaft and anything after '91 was 23 spline. I know there are wiring differences throughout the post '91 years and i was looking for some insight on that.

Has anyone swapped wiring harnesses on a tranny before. Is it very difficult or even possible?

Also make sure that you get the tranny from a 4wd vehicle, the AW-4 came in a 2wd and 4wd version. One of the two has a longer tailshaft, so if you get the wrong one, it won't bolt to your transfer case.
