WARNING: Observe due care when draining, as the fluid can be very hot.
WARNING: Observe due care when working near a hot exhaust system.
    • The following steps must be observed before starting the transmission fluid level check.
    • The vehicle must be on a horizontal ramp.
    • The parking brake must be applied.
    • The engine must be running for 2 minutes with the transmission control switch (TCS) in the "P" position.
    2. CAUTION: Make sure that the transmission fluid temperature is below 30 degrees before starting the fluid level check.
  2. Connect Jaguar approved diagnostic equipment to the vehicle.
    • Apply, and hold, the footbrake.
    • Move the selector lever from 'P' through all the gear positions, pausing in each gear position for 2-3 seconds and return to the 'P' position.
    4. WARNING: Make sure to support the vehicle with axle stands.
  4. Raise and support the vehicle.
  5. Refer to Air Deflector information.
  6. Place a suitable container under the transmission fluid fill plug.
    7. CAUTION: The transmission fluid level must only be checked when the temperature of the fluid is between 30 degrees and 50 degrees. The fluid level obtained will be incorrect if the reading is outside this temperature range.
    CAUTION: Discard the seal.
  7. Special Tool(s): Wrench, Transmission Filler Plug, (307-452)

    8. NOTE: Use transmission fluid meeting Jaguar specification.
  8. If the transmission fluid does not come out of the transmission fluid fill plug hole the transmission fluid level is insufficient. If this is the case add the transmission fluid in 0.5 liter units into the transmission fluid fill plug hole until fluid comes out.

    9. NOTE: Make sure the transmission fluid temperature does not exceed 50 °C (122 °F). If the transmission fluid temperature does exceed 50 °C (122 °F) stop the transmission fluid level check and allow the transmission fluid to cool until the temperature is below 30 °C (86 °F).
  9. Allow the transmission fluid to drain from the transmission fluid filler plug hole until the flow almost stops.

    11. CAUTION: Make sure the transmission fluid fill plug is tightened to the correct specification. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the vehicle.
    • To make sure the transmission fill plug is torqued to the correct specification. Using the special tool and torque wrench the following calculation steps must be followed.
    • Step 1. Multiply 35 Nm by the effective length of the torque wrench (1).
    • Step 2. Add the effective length of the special tool (2) to the effective length of the torque wrench (1).
    • Step 3. Divide the total of step 1 by the total of step 2.
    • Step 4. Set the torque wrench to the figure arrived at in step 3.
    • Tighten the transmission fluid fill plug to the torque given by the calculation.
