Welcome to the forum.

In the future posts your questions in the XK8/XKR section.

The fluid must be pumped into a port on the side of the transmission following this procedure:

See http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Auto...s%20manual.pdf pages 3-5.

An inexpensive manual fluid transfer pump will do, must you must follow the procedure and do it at the correct temperature and with the correct fluid.

Let's just say Jaguar didn't intend it to be a DIY job.

There is a great how-to video for the later (2003 onwards) ZF 6HP26 gearbox by Rev Sam.

Not sure how applicable it is to the earlier model 5 speed model.

watch your hands doing this. get a piece of asbestos to cover exhaust pipe when fitting the plug.
