RE: xj8 gearbox
Replace it like anyother transmission in the world. You can change the filter and gasket on the ground. I would also recommend changing the front and rear seals.
Refilling needs to be done on the car with the proper machine. You won't get the levels right other wise. I've heard of folks doing it via filler tubes. Could be messy, but can be done. I believe the fill hole is on the driver's side.
