The t-176 is a great jeep tranny and pretty low gearing. the only other jeep manual trans you could change to and to not run an adapter would be a t-18. try to find one of those. right now you are at 33:1 gearing, a t-18 would take you up to 59:1.

a auto is not going to help you out a tf999 only has a first gear of 2.74 which would take you to a 25:1 ratio, the 747 is even worse with a first gear of 2.45 which gives you a 23:1 gearing.

edit: a pre 1980 JEEP t-18 will bolt in with no adapters, a 1980-1986 t-18 (even if out of a j-series jeep will require a transfercase adpater). All ford t-18s will require the same transfercase adapter but no engine adapter as the tremec-176 and ford bellhousing patterns are the same.
