First, the tranny. I want to do a rolling tranny fluid replacement but don't want to do a chemistry experiment. Since even tranny fluids that meet the Jag/Ford spec may not mix, I want to use the original Jaguar Jatco fluid. So, anybody got a source for this stuff that doesn't include a blessing from the Dali Lama in the price?

If nobody has a connection to get this stuff at a reasonable price, how about a few of us get together and try to source a couple of cases for a steep discount and split them?

Now onto the transfer case. I have in my possession a bad transfer case. I intend to set it up on a workbench in the proper orientation, overfill it, and drain the fluid as per the JTIS Technical Service Manual. I will then refill it with 550cc of fluid as the manual instructs. My intention here is to get the fluid level absolutely correct. Then I will drain the fluid from the drain plug and measure the amount that comes out. This will give me the correct amount to refill the case after draining it from the drain plug. I'll let you know the results. This exercise is probably a month or two away.

 

I'm all for the group buy on the JATCO tranny fluid..

It should of been either; Idemitsu K17 or JATCO 3100 PL085
