1984 CJ-7 (just bought it, so I have to do some work and see what it has in it.. other than 4.2L Auto.. 4" lift, 33" tires... my '75 had a 304 2" Burbank supspension, warn winch, full cage, all the goodies, the '79 had a 401 turbo charged hi-po with t98 or 18, which ever one had the granny low first gear (never can remember which).. had all the items needed to 4wheel, none of the show and go poopie.. I don't believe "chrome will get you home"! I'm also not one to go out to see if I can tear up my jeep, I go where I must, usually with a group that I hung with.. Used to be part owner in Diablo Off Road Center in Concord California.. Jack Essex owned Diablo 4WD, George Clause was Mr. Base CAmp, and mine was "Sounds Etc" all under one big roof "the Diablo Off Road Center"..
want to upgrade my automatic to either 4speed, 5speed, or ? I believe I have a 3 speed, not even sure about that, but I need another high gear.. any ideas out there? thanks.. wayne
 
How about a 44re Chrysler swap (999 with Overdrive ) might be a bolt in but I don't know for sure.

I know the TH700R4 comes with a short shaft, low first gear, and good Overdrive 4th.. what does the 44RE have? short shaft, will it bolt up to the Transfer Case , low first? thanks for the info..
 
44re ratios are 2.74,1.54,1.0,.69..700r4 are 2.84,1.56,1.0,.70 they came in 96-98 grand Cherokees and 98-2000 durangos supposedly with a compatible output shaft as it is supposedly a reworked 999 now a better question are they brainless and are they stronger than a 700 r4 (could they be weaker?) what Transfer Case are you running? Dana 300 ?
