i HAVE PURCHASED A LOW MILEAGE STR. IT HAD 63000 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED. IT HAS 89000 MILES NOW. THE CAR ALWAYS SHIFTED ALITTLE ROUGH OUT OF 1ST NOT REALLY A BIG ISSUE, BUT IVE JUST NOTICED AT 50 MPR, IT THUMPS. NOT ALL THE TIME JUST NOW AND THEN . IM FUSTRATED BECAUSE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID THE CAR WAS PERFECT. I WANTED TO FLUSH AND CHANGE THE FLUID IN THE TRANNY, BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS GOOD TO 100 K MILES. AGAINST MY BETTER, JUDGEMENT I LISTENED TO THE JAG DEALER. ONLY FIND OUT A NEW TRANY IS ABOUT 8 K. I FEEL LIKE I WAS MISSINFORMED. I WANT TO CHANGE THE FILTER AND FLUID MYSELF, IM HANDY AND HAVE TOOLS. IS THIS A TECHNICAL JOB OR CAN I HANDLE IT. HAVE DONE MANY REPAIRS MYSELF BRAKES, COILS,AND OTHER REPAIRS, WOULD LOVE TO DO THIS MYSELF.CAN ANYONE ADVISE ME ? MY CAR IS A BEAUTY, TRIPLE BLACK, ABSOLUTLY THE NICEST CAR IVE OWNED.

WHAT ARE WE YELLING ABOUT? LOL.. Good Luck With Your Transmission And Follow The Advise Given By jagV8...There's Plenty Of Helpful Tips And Advise Throughout The Forum...You Just Gotta Look. Someone Correct Me If I'm Wrong Here, You Should Not Reuse The Pan Bolts Because They Are Designed To Stretch.

Cheers,

You're likely to damage some but otherwise I don't think they're stretch ones. Get the newer ones with the larger torx size.
