So I called a reputable shop here that specializes in European autos. My X-Type has 106k on it now and I was looking to get a transmission fluid flush, and transfer case and rear diff drain and fill. These are the prices they quoted me.

Transmission: $200 parts, $210 labor = $410
Transfer case: $25 parts, $105 labor = $130
Rear diff: $45 parts, $105 labor = $150

Transfer case is going to be my first priority. The others I am willing to put off later. I might have heard the quote wrong in the voicemail for the transmission flush. I believe another place quoted me more around $200 for that.

 

Umm Transfer case looks a little high, but I guess its fine. I haven't done the other services so I wouldn't know...

Any other help for this guy?

 

If he's using Jag specialty fluids then it's reasonable...liquid gold.

 

Thanks guys. This was quoted using specified fluids by Jag. I think I might go ahead with this place even if it is slighter more expensive than other shops. This seems in line with what I've read and asked around before.

 

IMHO I think all the quotes are high. I had to have my front and rear roll bar bushings changed. Jaguar wanted close to $1000 for the job. My mechanic who is very good did it for $400 including the price of the bushings. That being said, the only one that might be "tricky" is the transfer case I'd probably have a dealer do that. The others any good mechanic can do.

 

the driveline should be 80-120 each section. transmission 150-250 is average if you drop the pan change the filter and gasket....so 4somethin seems very high.
