I'm thinking the auto adjusters. The adjuster is busted on my right side, so it keeps loosening lol.

**** me. I just drove 10 miles to a JY to get a dome light with map lights. I forgot about that POS sunroof, which covers where the map lights WOULD be.

Screw it i'll just put it in the back lol. It was free anyways.

Replaced my tranny mount and broke three bolts in the process, one being a mount to trans bolt! With a mig welder, a torch and some wet rags i got it out thank god. In case nobody knows, the 2001 xjs use a specific to that year trans mount that is difficult to acquire! I made a '00 mount work by rotating the crossmember 180 degrees!
