Just curious, but why are you removing the transmission?
If you don't have the X350 Workshop Manual that JBzXJ40 referenced, you can download it in six sections here:
Table Of Contents
General Information
Chassis
Powertrain
Electrical
Body
Cheers,

I apologize. I found this site because I was given a 2004 XJ8 with only 55,655 miles. The vehicle belonged to a very dear friend. I knew the cars transmission had a problem after her son put it in park without coming to a complete stop.
from that day forward the car seemed to be stuck a gear. I know this because , When you get in and tired the key, the car would go through it's normal system check, and driver warnings. The doors would lock and sensors warning would
sound. After Further investigation I found that the J gate shifter had broken pieces from the shift lock.

I’m sorry. I sent my reply to you unfinished. I hit the submit key accidentally.
But anyway,
I pullout the shifter and did a quick bandaid hop on it and then tried to start the car again with the key. (I forgot to mention that when I started the the car the first time I had to tap the start to start it) and she came alive . The shifter gear indicator lights came on when switching gear to gear. However wouldn’t go forward or reverse.
So as I looked for possible reasons why it wouldn’t go.
So I went to my computer and did a search on the web but really wasn’t finding anything on my particular vehicle year and model. But I kept seeing Jaguar forum .
So I went ahead and posted my situation with the transmission. I received quite a few suggestions.
One member suggested that I drain the fluid and pull the pan to see what it looked like inside. It wasn’t pretty.
the fluid smelled burnt and the oil pan filter had fine shavings inside.
So that’s why I decided to just get the transmission out of the car rebuilt or replace which ever will be easier and cheaper.
i have access to two Jaguars. One is a XJ8 ,same year and model as mine. The other it a 2009 XF SUPERCHARGE.
The body of that car is pretty banged up. A victim of a very upset wife. But motor and transmission are intact and running.
Today I will be opening up the transmission to see what is going on inside.
Well Don I hope that I didn’t bore you with the reason why I am pulling out my transmission.
Oh yeah,
yes I do have the service manual I downloaded it earlier this week.
Well til next time
Aloha
Two Dubes.

Thank you for sharing... would you mind sharing more of how it went?
I am thinking on the same thing on my car. It does have different symptoms but I am looking at the transmission and maybe trying to swap it out with very little mechanic experience (some knowledge though)
Thank you !

Hi LePucco,
Welcome to the Jaguar Forums. It's great to have you with us.
You have posted the same question in two different forums, one for the X308, and this one for the X350. These models have completely different transmissions, and since you haven't told us the year and model of your Jaguar, we don't know how to respond.
The first thing for you to do is to visit the New Member Area - Intro a MUST, and post a required introduction so we can learn something about you and your Jaguar and give you a proper welcome. Then, read this thread:
*New Members - a MUST read if you have just signed up*
Once you have done those things, please start your own new thread in the correct forum for your model, tell us the year and model of your Jaguar, and describe the symptoms or malfunctions it is exhibiting. It is quite possible that your transmission does not need to be removed at all. But we can't help you without more details. X308 is the Jaguar factory project code for the XJ8 from 1997 to 2003. X350 and X358 are the codes for the XJ8 from 2004 to 2009.
Cheers,
Don
