Just changed my transmission oil today . Used Valvoline Max Life Full Synthetic. Drained 3.5 quarts and replaced the same amount with new oil. Mileage 128,000 . Going to repeat this process at least two more time until the oil become clean. Hope that this is process works well. I really like this car and want to keep it. Next process the transfer case and differential next. Just save $1000. in changing the water pump. The dealer really wanted to take me for a ride. Got the part on line for $48.00 and did the job my self.
Jorge de sousa how is your car running i got a 2004 jag x type oil light on and gearbox light and check engine light. Im thinking this will help me too
My 2004 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 AWD recently started having issues with gears. I went ahead and replaced the shift lever assembly, and it didnt change anything. At first, I was able to shift gears normally. From P to R to N to D and back again, no issues. Well now, I always get Reverse no problem, and when I can get it to get into D, it shifts gears fine. HOWEVER, its getting it into the gears thats the problem. I tried haven't adjusted the transmission cable because I cannot find instruction on how to adjust it with the automatic. But anyway, I can shift in R, and when shifting in D, it takes some effort to avail (IF ANY)-- you have to jiggle it and play with it and rev it here and there and shift into N and back again, but it just acts like it was in neutral and then powershifted to Drive. Once its in drive, it goes fine until you hit a simple bump or stop hard or come off the highway, then it feels like it goes back into N and power slams back into D. The gearbox selector is brand new and has just been replaced.. Am I crazy for thinking its the adjustment cable? And if so, any way you could advise me on how to go about adjusting it? Do i adjust it from inside the vehicle or outside beneath it? So confused, any help with greatly be appreciated. Thank you! Cheers
@@ProfessorDIY It ended up being the cable from the selector to the transmission itself needing to be adjusted! I wouldn't put it passed to get a fluid change-- its on my list of things to do-- but rest assured problem solved!
i have a 2003 x-type with 130.000 miles. I never changed the transmission fluid. They say its a sealed unit. What was the trouble that you were having and with the transmission, and the oil change you did yield good results? What is the recommended oil for the transmission? Jaguar is very picky about the correct oil to use or anything else will cut the life expectancy of the transmission. Look forward to more videos on your Jaguar.
After 100,000 miles you should change it, it has both a drain and a fill port, The fluid degrades over time. You do not want your transmission to fail. I was hearing a sound but mine has 150,000. Nothing lasts forever. A new transmission will cost you several thousand dollars change the fluid and enjoy your Jaguar.
Jorge.. just an FYI. It’s a marketing technique used when a auto manufacturer produces cars. Sealed for life. Any thing that has a seal and a filter benefits from new fluid and a new filter. Plus it’s a peace of mind. I’m replacing all the fluid in my 2004 x type regardless what is recommended. If you want to play it save, keep measurements of what your take out and replace the same amount of fluid. On here you’ll get a lot of mixed reviews. Good luck. 👍🏻
The trans oil is the same as the one in the video. Bought at Walmart. Changed the transfer case oil as well. Differential I have not done yet. Last time i did it was around 80K. I have 140 k now .
I have jaguar 02 x type 2.5 L won't reverse. So I put 3 bottle oil just like in the video but no reverse, and, when I go to the freeway, is seems like overheat, and not shifting at all until cools down. Now maybe too much oil or what? If anybody have any suggestion please let me know.
Yep. Unrelated things will cause false code faults on these things. Especially coils or vacuum leaks. Most are easy to find without pulling stuff off but even if you have to pull the intake manifold, it's pretty darn easy.
The no reverse problem is due to someone probably removing the reverse band bolt thinking it was a drain plug. It is a booger to get back in position but it can be done. BTW...the x-type has a level check plug for the tranny fluid. It is under the car with a hose running to it.
I had the same thing happen to me . Gearbox fault, engine system fault. It might be the shiftier on the console that might be going bad. In my case i went to the jaguar forums and checked around. The car was in the garage for tree days, the i decided to cleaned out the throttle body and put it back. Started the car up and ran perfect. No codes , no check engine light and pass vehicle inspection as well. I am not saying what i did fixed the problem but it worked for me.
@@ProfessorDIY The only feedback i would give you is if it is me - I am going to measure precisely what i am taking out - and putting back in - so that i can be as precise as possible when i finish - I believe full is 9 litres. Otherwise if it worked for you congratulations saved yourself a LOT of money - I remember inquiring about this and I was told the recommended procedure was to replace the filter and I forget I think a cooling tube or something like that - but it was about $1200. I decided to go with this solution and I am sure glad I did.

Congratulations! That is exactly the point of my channel. I do love my x type it is elegant and unique looking plus it is awesome to drive.

How soon will you do the second and third change?
Is the gearbox oil and transmission oil the same thing?
@@NewzAndReviewz That is up to you. Run it until the next oil change. Then change it again.
I used max life fluid as well. Great fluid and works better Than expensive zf fluid! Thanks
Thank you for watching

It may sound crazy but I think it is a fluid issue

thank, you for you're video.
Any time
Watched 4 mins 8 seconds. OMG he must be a joy to live with!!??!!
What a buffoon.
I truly am.
Lol
Happy family... hm... It looks( sounds) like a torque converter issue. Was it fixed by the way?
Yes it was the front differential
This is 19 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Never did find out if fixed.
Yes it got fixed - did you watch future episodes, I did update viewers

what oil did you use? Have you changed the differential and transfer case oil as well?
Thanks for your information. Its always helpful.

@@RJ-lk5pj True. I am still going to do my maintenance regardless. For my piece of mind. These cars are worth nothing if they break.
Was it the right kind of transmission fluid have you had any problems
LIQUID MOLLY or any other 5.0 transmission fluid - I have had x=zero issues!
Good video. Did you know this Jaguar was based off of a Ford Contour/Mondeo?
Thank you. Yes indeed one should not purchase a vehicle without knowing about it!
Who makes the transmission for the Jaguar X-Type? ZF?
Actually different manufacturing companies make transmissions for Jaguar.
@@ProfessorDIY - X-Type transmissions were made by Jatco.
CarGuy66 - Jatco

so at the end how you solve cant reverse problem ?
Changed the transfercase fluid

@@daddylogan you gota make a video for where this tranny level check plug is
02 jag xtype merc v or merc iv someone please tell me asap!
It's the same car, Jaguar has more of a following and recognition
Low trans fluid causing pump to knock and shudder
indeed!
Does Jaguar use a gm trans?
No it does not
no a British trans
Advise hi on the 2008/58 2.2 jaguar automatic ive not seen a filter removed ..how is it done please
@@austincastillo2488 - Well it's built by Ford.
@@MaachoMaan Oh, by India! Incredible!
Any updates? How’s the car still doing better?
Yes the cars is doing great, A video just saying that would be beyond boring, however. Thank you for the question!
Everyone Can Do DIY projects what do you think of this adding the Lucas transmission products along with the max life fluid also?
Drain plug has LEFT HAND thread..😂😂😂
Your point being?
@@ProfessorDIYMaybe that’s why it looks like he’s tightening it rather than untightening it?
@@SWright1978 Indeed

I have a jaguar x type 2004 3.0 and it say transmission fault 1

Thanks for sharing
I would check transmission fluid level and condition
It would help if he loosened the bolt instead of tightening
What in the world are yo talking about?
Don't bother watching this how to DIY follow the manual you are better off.
What manual is that? I couldn't find one for my 1998 XJ8 Vanden Plas
Another person that wants to give you advise but has no clue. I made those videos because the manual not only does not show you but often is wrong.
Lol
