Hello,

i have a 2005 style Jag with a 4.2 L transmission. I was wondering how I can find out what type of transmission my vehicle has.

Welcome.

You will need to tell us what model Jag you have.

The 4.2 is a partial give away, but not enough really..

Probably a ZF 6 speed, but thats a guess at the moment.

Welcome to the forum Rdp,

Without any indication of Jaguar Model in either your Intro post or your forum profile, I can't give you an answer.

Reading again whilst very tired, and maybe a TYPO.


>>>>>>2005 style Jag, is MAYBE a 2005 S Type Jag??????.

If so, ZF 6HP26 transmission.

Also thank you everyone for welcoming me on here. Very much appreciated. Does anyone know what type and brand of ATF fluid I would use on this vehicle? Also where would be the best place to get it? I am in Canada

There are many threads devoted to this, the down and dirty answer is that the correct fluid is ZF Lifeguard 6 which is also the priciest Mercon SP seems to be the favoured lower cost alternative. people have used other fluids.
You would be well advised to head for the S Type section and do some research on fluids and change procedures.

The above speculation was correct on your transmission type.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ed-v8-x200-15/ to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the Canada Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/canada-73/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
