Mercedes transmission in xk8?
Took my 2000 xk8 in for transmission problem and mechanic called to tell me it is an internal problem and that I had the Mercedes transmission, not the ford...reading online it looks like only xkr had Mercedes transmission? Is it possible for 2000 xk8 to have Mercedes transmission?

Yes I know the A drum issue from reading the posts. Just trying to figure out if the transmission was replaced before I got the car ( I bought it a few months ago) or if the mechanic is giving me bad info? If the transmission was replaced could they have put a Mercedes transmission in? And would this work with the car or cause more problems? Thanks for any insight,

When I purchased by '98 XK8, I got the original window sticker with the car.
Under the "Parts Content Information", it has the following:
Major Sources of Foreign Parts Content
United Kingdom 60%
Germany 20%
And then
For this vehicle:
Country of origin, Engine Parts: United Kingdom
Transmission Parts: Germany
I assume this would be the Mercedes transmission. If it was used in '98, wouldn't it be used in 2000 as well?

It has a ZF transmission, which is also a German manufacturer. http://www.zf.com/corporate/en/homepage/homepage.html
