I'm new to the site, so I thought I'd pop in and say hi.

I just purchased a 91 Wrangler (CHEAP) and it needs some work. First and foremost, no forward only reverse - at first I figured a filter change and gasket might fix it (had same issue on a buick a few years back and that fixed it), but then while we were getting it on the trailer we put a quart of tranny fluid in it and it went straight through to the ground. :-(

So big question is what transmission do I have, and what can I replace it with? I've been reading online and all the numbers are glassing my eyes (I'm not a mechanic or mechanical hobbiest yet, if it's not a computer I don't know what I'm looking at....).

How can I tell what type of transmission I have? I found a transmission on craigslist and the price is good, just not sure if it will swap out with mine.

Lots of other little issues, mostly surface rust (no rott) and cosmetics. Engine runs strong when it has good gas.

Thanks!
