I'm gathering up instructions and possible vendors for my first XJ8 DIY transmission service, and I ran across this part:

*Aluminum* Valve Body Seal 6HP26 Jaguar XK8 XKR XJ S-type Transmission Fault | eBay

It's 150.00 which is a lot of cash, but if it means one extra layer of piece-of-mind then it could be worth it... If it lives up to its claims.

My plan is to do a complete fluid replacement, new plastic pan, replacement of sleeve connector seal, valve body seals, and mecha seal.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this part directly or indirectly. Thanks all.

 

hi went on eBay I think you can find them cheaper than that

 

Just looked at this again and you get the body as well so not such a bad price
