You could change the fluid and add and additive that will help clean your valves in the valve body. That is the very least thing I would do. The other is to check the shift solenoids and make sure that they are working properly. Rob

That really improved the looks. I like it. Now for some black wheels. :)
bleeding the air out of those old renix systems can be a bit of a pain. Any luck with the transmission, I have several Aw4's if you need one.

Yea they made them for a few years. But theres a few left around. I love the look of the grill and square headlights. Just a little different than regular XJ's.
Heres what mine looks like.
