probably harder than going the other way since you have electronic controls to deal with. you might investigate going to a non-controlled auto fromthe early to mid 90's. I do know that the trannies in the Jeep GC's were a 46RH model which was non-electronic IIRC and then they switched to the RE version sometime in the mid 90's. I'd assume the auto's behind the CTD's were the same.
