    I re-geared my TJ Wrangler 2001 to a 488 it has a 3-speed transmission and I was wondering is there any other options on a 4-speed or 5-speed due to the gear swap being too low thanks for all help

    I would suggest either manual 5 speed or 4 speed auto with an overdrive that was designed for your vehicle.
