Default S type 4.2 v8 2004

Hi everyone just a quick question can I get away with Dextron 3 to change the ATF in my automatic gearbox. Its now done 104 k and is a bit slow going into 3rd and 4th gear?

Sorry to say it will not work you will damage the gearbox but if you go here you can find cheaper oils than the lifeguard oil from ZF.

Many of us have switched to Mercon SP in our ZF 6HP26 units. That ATF has been running perfectly in both of our Jaguars for several years now....
