Default 1999 XK8 transmission replacement suggestions

Well it's that time - my 99 XK8 with 165K on it and well it's time for a new transmission. So was just throwing it out here if you guys have any suggestions on good places to look for decent priced used transmissions etc.

Thanks for any help or suggestions!

In the UK a ZF specialist will charge you about £2600 for a rebuild which is going to be a lot cheaper and better then buying a second hand one. For example Jaguar Gearboxes Archives - Automatic Gearboxes - Gearbox Rebuilding Experts (automatic-gearbox.co.uk)

Pro rebuild in Sacramento is 3,400 Jag Heaven (Stockton) is supposed to be a good source of parts. I haven't worked with them. Are you going to DIY?

these transmissions are so commonly rebuilt most chains will be experienced enough to fix them correctly

true but it's expensive. maybe hard to get parts for a 20 year old transmission? am sure BobRoy knows the answer to that one
