Being a 5 speed it's easier to convert to a auto. The OEM auto trans those years suck. It's a 3 spd chrysler POS. Look at getting a AW4 trans, wiring, and computer from a 97 or so XJ. They are stand alone and last for ever. Usually they are cheap too as they don't go bad and supply is greater than the demand. I want to swap one into my Dad's 00 TJ but it's already an auto so it's more work. There are write ups on line of folks converting there 5 spds to AW-4, the guy that did a nice one is named Stu. One of the guys on HRJA did his and he said it was the best thing he ever did to his rig.
