I went bak and re-read. Are you trying to put a '96 AW4 transmission in a '99 too? That poses a lot more of a challenge.

Well unless you used SAE60 the sending unit is probably filthy or you knocked it with the new filter.
Long block = just the engine. Use nothing else from the donor.

I have a yj motor in mine, the oil filter sits perpendicular to the unibody rail. Right next to the motor mount. Problem I have is when the engine torques in the mount my filter hits it and dents it. Where is the sender?

All I can say is putting the adapter on will be easier than being towed outta the woods due to a punctured oil filter.......

T60.
Or, get an adapter off an earlier one that uses a 5/8" socket.

Or it may be a 14mm hex key. I had to use a 14mm outer diameter coupling for the two OFAs I've done. I keep it in the tool bag now.
Insert the coupling, put a socket on it, and turn it like a bolt. It's a bear to break the factory thread locker, but it's very easy once you do.
