I found him and it was all I could do to keep myself from beating him within a inch of his life. Plus my three friends were holding me back. But I called the cops. They came out and wouldn't do anything for me because I was supposedly parked in a no parking area....so I'm just gonna try and fight him through insurance. It was a pretty s****y day.

Man, I don't know if you're single (and maybe even if you're not) but that sounds like fate. C'mon, blue XJ overheats in front of your place? While you're working on your XJ. Soul mate.
Anyways, I finally got a non-leaky, full drain plug functional trans pan back in my 91 AND I didn't have to swap the upper dipstick tube. PB worked its magic. Thing pulled right out when I got there this afternoon.
To make sure it didn't stick again I dremeled the rusts gunk out, and dabbed some grease in there. I put a new filter in there while it was open. Now onto the bigger stuff.

diagnosed and fixed taillights
No taillights, every other light worked except the taillights, my solution was not to drive at night. Which worked until I needed to scoot home quick and I was about 12 hours away.
Checked all the bulbs, all were fine except the high stoplight, which I replaced and should not have done anything to the taillights anyway.
Checked all the grounds and fuses, all good. I figured it had to be the switch. From the condition of the nut holding the switch, all chewed up, I knew the PO had worked on it too. So making notes on the colors and positions I unplugged everything and tried to reconnect and one of the terminals broke off. Got a new switch, plugged it in and Yea, I got taillights.
