Which of your 3 Jags had the transmission problem? I'm wondering if I should expect a similar fault with my 02 XJ8L (78,000 miles). Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with those of us who have far less!

We be rolling again. Had a chance to put it all back together (no rush, it one of our 3 Jags)
but still not that time consuming if one was under a more timely situation.
The cost:
New A-drum-225.00
ZF manual-65.00
Trans pan gasket 25.00
Esso fluid 160.00
Couple o-rings- 6.00
Few cups o' Dunkin- 10.00
So for about 500.00-ish I got it done.... not 2,000 , or 3,0000, or 4,000 which any trans place would have been robbery. To this day I cannot understand why so many people buy used cars (especially Jags) then don't have the slightest clue about them. I just saw a recent post for someone asking where to add coolant, or why the mirror was not darkening? and don't gimme that "oh you were a newbie once and probibly asked these kind of questions... Gimme a break!
Cheers

Remember there's fluid in the lines and in the cooler and in the torque converter. The easiest way is to measure what you drain out.

Found this reman drum in a search....
Here is the site I found. Have not had a chance to call them yet to see if they are still in business etc. Best price I have seen, 175 plus 100 for the core. Planning on replacing mine while I have the engine out putting in my new reman engine.

Whoa, that is way cheaper than the $300 one I got from transparttech or whatever it was. I think I paid $285+$100 core, which I got back. When I was disassembling the a-drum, I noticed some of my o-rings on the piston inside were torn and I couldnt get a replacement. The guy from transparttech sold me a seal kit ~$200 and overnighted it to me. It was awesome

Seal Kit?
Hey ixj8it, do you happen to remember what the seal kit was? I was reading a link about a guy rebuilding the ZF5HP24 for a land rover application and he said a similar thing about the o-rings going between the a and b drums. I am of the opinion that while I am in there I should take care of all that I can within reason. I am just a bit unsure about taking apart more than I need to. Here is the land rover post link: http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/vie...hp?f=2&t=37767

Wow. cant believe this post is still so active after all this time. There is a company called Eriksson Industries in Connecticut (1-800-388-4418) and they are VERY familiar w/ the ZF5HP24... Theyre an authorized distributor... They know exactly what seals you need. I think I paid under 100 for all the O Rings and gaskets to repair the forward A drum. There are a few gaskets and a couple of O Rings. I have the exploded view of the unit if you want (which i got from eriksson) that I can email to you... It has the part numbers and such. I thought I was in over my head, but actually only took me about an hour to fix (not counting the time to get the tranny in and out). Let me know.

The seal kit I bought was high if the eriksson one is only $100, not to mention the kit I got was for an Audi AWD transmission I believe. All I used from it was the pan gasket and the piston o-rings.

I know this post is 6 months old, but if you or anyone needs some insight on pulling and installing this tranny in the XJ8 to send me a message. I am a mechanic and I just did a swap for a buddy of mine. The job can be annoying at times but I've had other cars be much worse.
The toughest part is the left side of the exhaust.
