Re: 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport Question #1-Towing-Transmission Coolerper owner's manual
Sam, the Cherokee has an external tranny cooler and you won't need
another to tow your motorcycle. It's rated to tow 5000 lbs, no worries.
I used to tow my 3500 boat up and down the mountains of the SW US with
my '89 Cherokee with the 4.0L and the same AW-4 tranny you have in yours.

Jerry.
Unless someone put one on or it came with the trailer towing package it does
not have a external tranny cooler, just the one in the radiator. The 5000#
requires the external cooler. As others have stated, definitely worth while.

Re: 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport Question #1-Towing-Transmission Cooler per owner's manual
I towed a bunch of cars from Washington State to Colorado, using a 1997
Dodge Ram Van, forgetting to install an auxiliary transmission cooler.
Never had a transmission related problem. The Cherokee does have cooling
problems in general, because of the way AMC shoehorned the 4.0 liter engine
in. It may need the auxiliary cooler, maybe not. That's my $0.02.

Look down the radiator and see if there are a couple of extra pipes.
At least on the ZJ, these are on the driver side and are part of an
in-radiator transmission cooler. The aux cooler splices into these
lines.
