Does anyone here know which method is effective in checking if the tranny fluid level is the correct recommended one? If I drain and measure, the tranny seems to have been loosing oil for some time, so i wont know which is which.
There have been very many confusing search results that helve left me in a worse position that i was when i embarked on my search.

2004 X-TYPE X400 2.1L with auto box

Thank you

 

There are numerous threads here with the answer. The correct Jaguar way would be your best bet because of the fluid loss. The thread I have has the DEFINITIVE ANSWER of which plug to never touch that screws your transmission up necessitating tearing it out to fix.

 

Thank you Dell, Kindly share that thread, and I will read it religiously, for I need not screw it up.

 

The method is exactly the same as a Jetta MK4 with the 5 speed JATCO gearbox (09A) The VW is front wheel drive only but the gearboxes are the same!!!

Anyone that can check a VW can do the same for a Jaguar X400. (same fluid also)

Thanks, I checked the links out, and each link took me to another, until I was satisfied to attack my Jaguar for a tranny fluid job. Thanks Motocarman and Dell Gailey for your patience with me and your guidance. I still can't figure out why I failed to land on those links during my three days search on the forum.

Warm regards
