Well, I've got a 42RE out of a '98 ZJ.. and a '93 XJ that has a shot AW4. I started pondering and happened across many instances of swapping a 42RE for a AW4. I know the 42RE is electrically controlled by the PCM on the 98 but on 93-95 ZJ's it has a separate transmission controller instead of built into the PCM (Not ECM, since PCM is powertrain, ECM is engine). Anyhow, my idea was to swap in the 42RE and grab a TCM from a 93-95 ZJ and wire it up. I don't really care for how the 42RE shifts (quite sloppy in comparison with an electronically shifted AW4, but thats somewhat aside from the point.) I have plenty of capability to make the swap happen (was only going to be a ECE before life happened)..
Just wondering you guy's thoughts on swapping contrary to everyone else. (reason: trans was rebuilt, and I have got it)
