Can someone help me with my transmission neutral safety switch! I already pulled it and cleaned it and put it back together 4 times! After i do this it runs fine for like 3 days but it slowly starts acting up and I end up with no more O.D! I noticed every time I would hit a bump it would shoot it out of O.D but now its to the point of no O.D! What am I doing wrong! I really don't feel like spending $275+tax for a new switch! Is there a way I can bypass this switch? Will I still get O.D if I bypass? Someone please help

i just did an oil change on the weekend. I had rotella 0w40, and switched to quaker state defy 5w30. I wanted to give it a shot since its almost $30 cheaper for 6 qts. now its got some pretty wicked clackity clak at start-up, and stays that way until it warms up. then its just barely noticeable. all I ever use for filters are napa golds. wtf. should I try to get my $'s worth and just run it till the next oci, or change it back to the rotella? or maybe find an additive for it?
what would you do?

What's the free arch of stock XJ springs? I have a set on my parts jeep that may be better than what's on my 99. But there's a lot of parts and body missing and no wheels on it. I think the only way I could measure them is to take them off and check free arch. Any insights?
