Does the shift knob look like this?
If so, then you probably have a T-18 transmission. Follow the link to the Novak Adapters site, there's good info in there on the Transmission . I have a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l /T-18 combo and yes, I pretty much drive it like a 3 speed. Because 1st gear is unsynchronized it makes it difficult to start in 1st and shift up to 2nd and all but impossible to shift from 2nd down to 1st. But with 1st gear being 6.32:1, it'll go on it's own without touching the throttle.

Kick, jeeps are made for the dirt, not the road, the lower the gear ratio the better
if you can take off in 2nd, you have a good thing as it will crawl wasier and stall less off the road.

you did good. but I would guess it's a 4:1 rather than a 6:1. still a pretty cool thing.
