great video, i have a 2006 L322 with Jag engine so i think it is the same as yours. I am trying to do my own maintenance so i will watch all your Rover videos, Thanks Dave in Los Angeles !
The mechatronics sleeve is an absolute nightmare. The revised version is longer by a 1-2mm, making it extremely difficult to seat in place for the white locking tab to move up. When you align and place the sleeve in, it will appear as if it's in place and ready to go. However, you need an uncomprehendable amount of force to seat the sleeve in enough for the tab to slide up. I used a scrap piece of steel to place over the sleeve to minimize possible damage, and a prybar to forcefully seat in the sleeve. My guess is that because of that extra 1-2mm, the locating tab that actuates an allows the sleeve to lock isn't long enough by that amount, so excessive force is needed It took me several hours from removing and inserting the sleeve , to inserting and attempting to pry in without damage, to not being able to pull it back out due too excessive force, then eventually using a scrap steel which fitted precisely over the hole enough to hold it in place and to push as hard as I could until there was enough pressure on the sleeve for the tab to lock in. Should a future replacement arise, I will hope that it's because the orings have failed and that I am actually able to remove it without much trouble. I am very surprised at how easy your sleeve seated in and with the white tab being easily pushed up. However, pausing the video frame at 9:32, I noticed that the mechatronics connector is supposed to have 2.5-3.0mm of gap between the transmission and the connector plug. Your install looks to have a very excessive gap beyond what is shown on instruction guides. Can you please tell me where you bought the sleeve so I can cross reference to see if they are the same part?
Awesome video Brother! I have a 2006 full size RR with the Jag 4.2 engine. I need to replace my transmission pan and fluid. Do you have the VAICO transmission kit part available.
got to throw in that 'make sure you check that fill plug first'.

@@Biscaynedave Thankx for your support brother. 🙏 I’ll try to post more videos

Is there no tranmission dip stick ?
Great job, it's very important you use the GREEN labeled fluid not the red.
