Default transfer case question

I recently bought what I thought was a transmission and transfer case to my 96 Cherokee 4.0, with aw-4 transmission. Well it was to a 96 GRAND Cherokee 4.0 with a 42RE transmission and transfer case. Well I have a new transmission picked out but I want to know if I can still use the transfer case. The other transmission is for sale too. PM me if you want it. I appreciate any advice, thanks!

I think you have to have the tcase that mates to the AW4, and cannot use one from a different trans.

No I'm pretty they are the same mounting points.

^^If that's the case then it should work. There isn't much talk of the GC trans on here, I've never had one.
