No wonder these are rich peoples' cars! Took my Jaguar XJR to AAMCO for its 80k tranny service. I typically do these things myself, but this is a "sealed for life" unit which is a HUGE p.i.t.a. to work on. So a jag filter is built into the pan, so it needs a whole new pan, and at $10 a quart for their brand fluid, plus labor and taxes...500 bucks haha. I changed the suspension on this thing last week, Jaguar quoted me $1500...per shock lol. I did that part myself, i just took it to them to make sure it was the shock that was giving us the problem. Just a little nugget for you average joes that think it's fun to own nice cars haha Rant off
