Who'se shift kit did you install and what is their URL?

I bought my XL with 49k miles on it and didn't change the tranny fluid until 85k. I had a local Texaco station change it. They connected into the cooler lines at the radiator, both in and out, and pumped new fluid in and scavenged the old brown fluid until the color changed back to bright red...
