Questions for 03 XJ8 transmission fluid and filter replacement
So I've done this service to other cars but heard jaguars are very different. Is the transmission fluid pan the one located a few inches behind the front wheels in between two exhaust pipes? It looks to be attached with allen or hex bolts. There is one large bolt in the bottom of the pan is that a drain? There is one large bolt on the right side of the pan is that the fill up? After removing the pan will the filter just pull off or need to be unbolted? What amount of torque will be needed to re attach everything?
Would it be possible to pour the fluid in using a long hose and a funnel, like a big beer bong for the car? I was thinking with four ramps and a friend we could get the fluid level close enough. Thanks

I just went and got a $7 fluid pump from harbor freight that screws onto quart bottles where the cap goes and you just push down the head to pump. I think it moves a couple of ounces per pump. Before I used an electric fuel pump with a tube stuck in where the fuel sock would normally go. Good luck and let us know how it works!

Hi
Here is a JPEG file showing another view of the ZF5HP24 Transmission (Locations of Rotary Switch Connector, Gear Shifter - Rotary Switch & Oil Inlet Pipe, Oil Outler Pipe and Selector Cable, Level/Filler Plug):

A couple of important details: There was an instruction embossed on my XK8 pan saying to remove when at operating temp. I don't think that is critical, but you should loosen the fill plug while hot, it's easier then, and you don't want to get done and find out the plug will not come out. Likewise the pan screws which I believe are T27. Fill plug is 6mm hex.
To refill I removed the cooling return line from the top left of the radiator (careful to plug the radiator to keep fluid from running out) and used my mightyvac to pump in 6 qts. That was enough to start the engine, run through the gears and remove the fill plug to drain off the excess while it got to operating temp. Since I work alone it's less of a fire drill that way

Are you saying the return line is the top one??
My filler plug is an 8mm hex.
