my luck has changed

i had a friend total out a 96 cherokee sport with 4.0 6 cylinder and automatic transmission. he is selling me the engine for dirt cheap. will the transmission work also? it was 2 wheel drive?

You'll need a transmission from a 4wd Jeep in order to bolt up the transfer case. If you can find an AW4 from an XJ it has the overdrive 4th gear.

output may have to be changed.. but will work

what about a torqueflite 999 would there be a difference in driveshaft angle between the 2? what transfer case would u recommend?

The AW4 has the benefit of the overdrive, but it's long and would need a relatively short rear driveshaft.

What drivetrain do you have now?

i have the 5 speed manual transmission. im not sure what it or the transfer case is. all i know is reverse barely works and 5th gear dont work at all plus the other day i was mud riding with some friends and it took my at least ten minutes to finely make the 4 wheel drive kick in. im looking for a good auto transmission to put in it.

The 4.0L and auto transmission would be a good upgrade for you, once you have a transmission that'll bolt to the transfer case. You'll need to change the transfer case input shaft to match the auto transmission. You can learn a lot about that here: http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/np231.htm
Your transmission should be the Peugeot BA10/5 that was behind the 4.2L from '87 to mid-year '89.
