   I had thought that the new 9 speed transmission was "ZF" i.e., Zuffenhausen,   
   which makes the trannies for Porsche and Mercedes. The earlier Chrysler   
   trannies were very unreliable.  I had a 1999 Grand Cherokee Laredo with an   
   inline 6 that was awesome but had the transmission light go off one time and   
   there was indication of metal fragments in the fluid. It cost well over   
   $650.00 to fix the issue, flush the transmission and replace the sensor.   
   Luckily, my wife took the car during our divorce and I got the newer Honda   
   Accord because I needed the reliability to work and pay her bills :O
