man, i just read your whole build, it would be a sin to get rid of it. you put so much time and money into it just to give up on a problem like this? even though your frustrated, just park it for a couple months till you save up enough money for a new, or junkyard tranny. that thing is way to nice to give up.

hi guys i´m back from cancun springbreak ´10 and have good news the i just at the shop the guys didnt have time to work in my XJ, so i tow it to my house and take out the dirty fluid again and try to take out the 10mm screws and the came out perfectly and discovered the filter was very dirty so i bought a filter and a new seal. i add new oil and the truck run perfectly whooo... but the 5 minutes running it the oil was very dark again, so i take out the oil and add new again and now it is very clean. so i install the adjustable track bar.
here comparing the stock vs the roughcountry.


bought new hardware because the stock were very damaged


stock bracket

rough country bracket

some day i´ll add jhonny joints to the track bar. i already have them
