Locating my transmission model
Hello! Is there a resource on the forums that would list the transmission model used in my 2000 XKR X-100, as well as the type of transmission fluid that is reccomended by Jaguar?
The owner's manual doesn't contain this info.
Other users' posts about this topic have been regarding non supercharged XK8's or MY 2003 or later cars, which may have a different transmission I believe.

below is a post I made a couple of years ago:
The list below is from one of the Mercedes forums, and details the Mercedes approved fluids. I use the Fuchs Titan 4134 and it is working very well. When I first got my XKR I tried using a fluid not in this list. The end result was a transmission that did not know its own mind, and the list of shifting anomalies is WAY too long to detail here. Putting the correct fluid in the transmission “fixed” everything.

IIRC, from one of the Mercedes forums:
What Fluid Can I Use For The 722.6 Transmission?
The short answer is that you just use the genuine Mercedes ATF for the 722.6 or the 722.9 transmissions. You will not lose any sleep during the night and there are three different fluids you can use in the W210 722.6 transmission. (These fluids cost approximately $12 - 15 per liter).
MB 236.10 sheet - ATF 3403, aka 722.6 fluid (MB Part # 001-989-21-03-10)
MB 236.12 sheet - ATF 3353, aka 722.9 fluid (MB Part # 001-989-45-03-10)
MB 236.14 sheet - ATF 134 or 4134, aka "new" 722.9 fluid (MB Part # 001-989-68-03-10)
Mercedes always recommends the latest fluid for the 722.6 transmission but there is nothing wrong to use the older fluids (your car came with the 236.10 fluid).
The intermediate answer is that you can also use whatever is on the official Mercedes approved list for each spec sheet. However these fluids are not easy to find in the USA, although more vendors are starting to carry them now. Here are the ones on the (current) official approved list for each spec sheet: (These fluids can be found as low as around $10 - 12 per liter).
MB 236.10 sheet
MB 236.10 Flüssigkeitsgetriebeöl (ATF) A 001 989 21 03 Daimler AG
Mercedes-Benz Getriebeöl Blatt 236.10 Daimler AG
Shell ATF 3403-M 115
(So there is only one non-Mercedes fluid on this current list).
MB 236.12 sheet
Aral Getriebeol ATF M12
Fuchs Titan ATF 3353 Fuchs
MB 236.12 ATF 3353 A 001 989 45 03 Daimler AG
Mercedes-Benz Automatik-Getriebeöl Blatt 236.12 Daimler AG
Mobil ATF 3353
Shell ATF 3353
(So there are four non-Mercedes fluids on this current list).
MB 236.14 sheet
Fuchs TITAN ATF 4134
Fuchs TITAN EG ATF 134
MB 236.14 ATF NAG2VSport A 001 989 68 03 Daimler AG

if you use a fluid not listed above your transmission is not going to like it. I know, I tried before I knew any better.
