Automatic Transmission/Transaxle - TDV6 3.0L Diesel /V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol - Transmission Fluid Level Check
General Procedures
WARNINGS: Activation
Observe due care when draining, as the fluid can be very hot.
Observe due care when working near a hot exhaust system.
1.
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.
Connect Jaguar approved diagnostic equipment to the vehicle.
3.
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.
Raise and support the vehicle.
5. Refer to: Air Deflector (501-02 Front End Body Panels, Removal and Installation).
6. Place a suitable container under the transmission fluid fill plug. 307-452

7. CAUTIONS:
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.
Discard the seal.
Special Tool(s): 307-452
8. NOTE: Use transmission fluid meeting Jaguar
specification.
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.
10. 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).
Allow the transmission fluid to drain from the transmission
fluid filler plug hole until the flow almost stops.
NOTE: Install a new sealing washer.
Using the special tool, install the new transmission fluid fill
plug.
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.
12. Remove the special tool.
