hmm so this is coo, my brother in law whom was trying to sell a 96 ZJ with a bad tranny. said he would just give it too me if i'll give it a good home. so i think i just got a free vehicle, and i still have my subaru to sell. which would fund a new tranny and some goodies for the ZJ.

is it 4wd?

[swamprat]

yup

[Ben H.]

4.0 or 5.2?

[swamprat]

5.2L it needs a tranny and im not sure but it should have a 44RE. i wonder how much it would cost to get a used one and it installed...

[Ben H.]

If it is a 96, then yea, it'll have the 44RE. You shouldn't have trouble finding something.

Here is a quick search from Craig's List.

i can get a transmission easily, my only issue is i lack the skill and the space to pull the old one or install the new one. when i get the subaru sold and the ZJ in my name and tagged im taking it up to Allsouth for then to have a look, they think it may not be as bad as it seems.  the problem is the jeep can get in gear, but not always the first time. and then it'll slip out of gear while driving. i thought it was a linkage somewhere, but it may be some kinda of vacuum line or something

[Ben H.]

Might just be the bands. If you read over on JF you'll see where it is pretty common and pretty easy to fix.

im not sure what to search for.... i tried ZJ transmission bands and grand cherokee transmission problems and i am not sure if im looking at the same things your thinking of
