Can someone give me a straight answer on this?

BAH! Who cares .... I bought it ... fixed the rust and now my sheet metal and rust eradication skills are up there with the best of them.

Oh yeah and my 96 XJ now has a 16 ga. stainless steel floorpan in the cargo area!

Now if only I could track down and eradicate some of those odd noises! ( actually it seems most if not all of the rattle is coming from the exhaust - gonna replace the entire system including all hangars and clamps. )

My 1995 XJ is an automatic - it's the one the wife and daughter can drive. It has no problem as far as kick down is concerned. Hit the accelerator and it shoots forward.

good to know...
