So the other day I lost all my trans fluid on the highway due to a bad hose clamp. Now when I go from park to drive (automatic) there is a pause where it seems to stick in neutral for a bit before it engages. Does anyone have any idea what could be making this happen? I think my fluid level is good.

Originally i wanted the RE 3.5" lift but with shocks its about a $1000. Plus I'd still need a few things after like an adjustable trackbar and transfercase drop and possibly an sye and driveshaft. So now I've downgraded once again and have been looking at Zone lifts. Their 3" lift is $500 with new leafs and its pretty barebones. No LCA's or quick discos. Would it be a better deal to pick up the Zone lift and then buy the other crap seperate? Or just fork over the money for the RE lift and call it good? BTW im going to be running 33's and I know I'll be trimming. Hoping to keep a little money aside so I can regear and locker up before the end of this year. Any suggestions or other kits that are more complete?

Do you know or does some else know what LCA's I should get then? Adjustable vs fixed? what lengths/brand?

And on the track bar, is it best just to buy the IRO Adjustable Double Shear Track Bar?

Just got a 95 xj, power Windows quit working. First the passenger window went down and wouldn't go up Ign cylinder has been bashed out. Wipers and blower only work in acc position. Can't remember if I found volts at passenger window. Not sure what fuse, all good.
