I should have bought a boat instead of a jeep with all this frigin rain. What is up with this 3 speed trans in an 88 yj? You go over 75 and it sounds like it is going to blow up![addsig]

must say... its a jeep... for many of us, if you can even reach 65, you're lucky... 75 is much more than you need[addsig]

Look at Cherokees (XJ), I think the newer ones came with an OD auto behind the 4.0L, not sure. Lift and install some larger tires, that will bring your rpms down, but will take longer getting there [addsig]
