My red 1998 xjr is starting to have transmission issues at 85k mi. This looked like a good place to start my info gathering.

It all depends on what sort of issues you are having. The least expensive approach would be to change the trans fluid. Although its claimed by the factory to be a "sealed for life" trans, many members here have taken the service route with great results.
