Automatic transmission Jaguar F-Pace 3.0D 8HP-70 17tkm
The EX53-7000-AE (or similar codes like T4A1870) identifies the ZF 8HP70 8-speed automatic transmission for the Jaguar F-Pace (X761) equipped with the 3.0L V6 Diesel engine.
A unit with 17,000 km (17tkm) is considered “as-new” in the secondary market, as these transmissions are engineered to handle the high torque output ($700\text{ Nm}$) of the twin-turbo diesel for well over
1. Technical Specifications
The 8HP70 “Quickshift” is a torque-converter automatic known for its ability to mimic the shift speeds of a dual-clutch gearbox while maintaining the smoothness of a traditional planetary system.
-
Engine Match: 3.0L TDV6 / SDV6 (AJD-V6).
-
Drive Type: Most 3.0D F-Pace models are All-Wheel Drive (AWD). Ensure the transmission includes the mounting face for the transfer case.
-
Electronic Control: The Mechatronic unit (internal computer) is coded to the car’s VIN. When installing a used unit, you will likely need a specialist with Jaguar SDD or Pathfinder software to perform a “J2534” reflash or adaptation reset.
2. Market Value (February 2026)
Low-mileage units like this are highly sought after for accident repairs or vehicles that suffered “swimming” (water ingress) damage.
| Condition | Estimated Price (USD) | Notes |
| Used (17,000 km) | $1,400 – $1,900 | Premium price due to ultra-low mileage and “clean” history. |
| Used (100k+ km) | $800 – $1,100 | More common; often requires a preventative service before fitting. |
| Remanufactured | $4,000 – $5,500 | Includes new clutches, seals, and updated Mechatronic. |
3. Installation & Maintenance Advice
Even with only 17,000 km, the transmission may have sat for a long period in a donor vehicle.
-
Fluid Service: While the mileage is low, time degrades the additives in the oil. It is best practice to install a new ZF 8HP filter pan (Part #JDE36541) and fresh ZF Lifeguard 8 fluid.
-
Transfer Case Check: If you are swapping the transmission, inspect the splines on the transfer case (which bolts to the back of the gearbox). These are a known weak point for rust/stripping if the factory grease has washed away.
-
Cooler Lines: Flush the transmission oil cooler lines before connecting the new unit. If the previous transmission failed mechanically, metal shavings may be trapped in the cooler, which will immediately destroy your “new” 17k km unit.
4. Part Number Verification
While your code EX53-7000-AE is an engineering number, it cross-references to the following Jaguar service numbers:
-
T4A1870
-
T4A14371
-
LR093255 (Land Rover equivalent for Discovery 5/Range Rover Sport with the same engine).
