To find out if the transmission is full, you need to run the engine an amount of time to get the transmission fluid up to a certain temperature.

Here is a youtube video on a 2002 XK8 ZF5HP24 transmission (same procedure as for XJ8) changing the transmission fluid and its filter:

Video on youtube created by Jaguar forum member ReverentSam - youtube name is sam1174.

Here is a JPEG showing the XJ8 ZF5HP24 transmission diagram (shows drain and fill plug):



The 1998 to 2003 XJR has mercedes WA780 transmission (that has a plugged dip stick tube that allows the plug to be removed and and drip stick inserted).

The Youtube video is really good. Is it really necessary to have the chart that shows the order/sequence to tighten the transmission bolts when putting back the trans pan?

And the Pittsburgh Multi-Use Transfer pump with the hose he use to refill new fluid in the filler hole. Seem like the end of hose fit right into the filler whole. Does it have to be a exact fit or he just luck out with the right size?

At 12:54, I guess he used some vise grips on the screw whose head had broke off and was stuck in the pan area? He didn't show how he got it out?
