I have never changed the transmission fluid since I got it, which was just under a couple of years ago. I know the previous owner took good care of it and before that it was a lease vehicle. If I had to guess I would say it has been changed at least twice maybe.

I believe it is an AW-4 transmission.

I left Pep Boys a little confused last weekend. I took my 98 xj there to have the serpentine belt replaced. While it was in there I figured it would be a good idea to have the transmission fluid and filter changed. I was told that if the fluid had not been changed within 36k miles it would be...

Sorry I left this thread hanging. After trying to use the new fancy multimeter I got at Discount with mixed results, I finally gave in and just put in a new one which fixed the problem. There are two things that I learned from this process that may be helpful for some people.. 1. With an 18"...

Hey DenT, did you ever try getting the codes pulled to see if there is any code showing for a bad CPS? I was able to have mine pulled by the guys at both Discount and AutoZone for free.

I got a Cherokee recently. It’s a 98 with an I-6 motor, and an AW-4 Transmission. It has about 115,000 on it and it’s in really good shape. My goal is to drive it forever. I’m not rushing out to do a bunch of mods on it. I am gonna keep it on the street till I get a lift kit and some...

I just got a FSM for my 98 XJ. The reason I got it is because I am trying to fix a problem with the engine cutting out while driving, and having difficulty starting occasionally. Apparently the problem is with the crankshaft position sensor ( I had the codes pulled and it came up a P0320 )...

Thanks for the help AlohaBra. This looks like a very promising XJ site.

FSM = like fifty billion dollors. ($90 plus shipping)

Yeah I have been there and when I've got $90+ to spend I am gonna get the real deal. For now the more I spend on the book the less I've got for the part I need. I have found factory manuals for other stuff before with some work looking around, I have purchased them as well. What I don't get...

I guess I'm gonna have to spend some money on a manual cause I gave up trying to find any downloads. Seems Chrysler is all over the place monitoring these things. I can't get the factory one right now so anyone got any opinions on the alternatives?

I got my first jeep about 3 weeks ago. It's a 98 XJ SE 4.0 auto with about 114000 miles on it. I drove it from Chatanooga back down to Central Florida with no problems, but after about three weeks I have some issues. In the last week or so I started to notice the motor missing occasionally...
