Solenoid Was Replaced along with Transmission Fluid?

Hello,

You must have the correct fluid in the transmission are it will act the way you are describing. Also, I would run the codes to see if any are stored. This video will help you gather the codes please list any here.

I would dump the fluid out and refill it with Please go over this guide and get back to me. Here is the fluid type to be used.

Shell M-1375.4 / ZF Lifeguard 6 equivalent

The ZF transmission is temperamental of the fluid type and will make the shifting erratic. Let me know how it goes

Hello I used the LiquiMoly 1800 fuid,I was told that it can use

For the 2003 S-Type, the fluid answer depends on which transmission it has:

1. If it has the ZF 6HP26 6-speed transmission:
Liqui Moly Top Tec ATF 1800 is generally listed for ZF 6HP19/26/32 and ZF 8HP

2. If it has the Ford/Jaguar 5R55N 5-speed transmission:
Then Liqui Moly 1800 would not be my first choice. That transmission normally calls for Mercon V type fluid, not the low-viscosity ZF 6/8-speed style fluid.

Which transmission do you have?

I think it is the ZF 6HP26 6-speed transmission but how do I know if it has this type of transmission.?I was just assuming by the year of the vehicle which is Jaguar 2003 s type.Thanks.

You have the base 3.0 engine which was most commonly used with the Ford 5 speed not the 6 speed. A quick way to tell is to simply look at the shifter, does it say D-5 or or D-6 on it when shifted? I suspect it's the 5 speed and it doesn't like the thinner oil you used. Drain and fill with Shell M-1375.4 and you should see it improve provided the internal hard parts are not the issue.

Okay thank you I will try that and let you kmow.

Thanks for the input Steve W.
