Hi All,
I came across this video on You Tube of a guy changing out his tranny oil on a Merc 320 which has the same box as our early XKRs. Around 10.43 in he shoves a hose to the orifice where the filter should be and starts either blowing fluid out, or in, I cant figure out which? Any takers out there to what he is doing?


Regards,
Karl

 

Just a guess but I think he was feeding more fluid into the trans from a hose that is sucking fluid from a container. Probably into the pump inlet port in the trans. Possibly some of it is circulating through the torque converter.

 

Here's a video of Reverend Sam changing transmission fluid on an actual Jaguar XK8.
I found it helpful and entertaining.

 

Of course, the Rev's Video is for a ZF Trans used in the XK8. The first Video is for a Mercedes Trans used in the 4.0 XKRs.
