97 Jaguar transmission fluid level

This is a 97 Jag XK8a with 58,134 on the odometer. The transmission is slipping occasionally when starting from a dead stop.
The owner took it to a Jag shop and was told that the tranny is sealed and fluid can not be added.
If that's true, isn't there a diagnostic hook-up (maybe on the OBDII) to learn the fluid level to see if that could be the problem?
Is slipping in 1st gear a problem with Jag XK8s car when they get over 50K ?
Just as a side issue, did Ford own Jaguar in 97 ?

I'm not going to be of much help with this but don't want the thread to go unnoticed. There's some method for trans fluid that may be all different than the typical dipstick which may involve removing all and filling to spec and no routine just "adding" might be true. Jags and others are their own bird sometimes.
If this slipping is a low fluid problem there should be evidence of a leak somewhere. If a real slipping it's trouble no matter what.
Owner's manual may suggest if it can be checked via a computer scan and bet it can but may take either a Jag dealer or trans specialty shop for the help.
Ford and Jaguar: It was close to that year but not sure when exactly they were really part of each other. Many car makers use or consult other car makers and have for ions. Ex: Rolls Royce no less at least once used GM for A/C help - like way back. Borg Warner has been involved with several car makers for transmission designs or outright made components.
Best I can do for you with this question,

That's a start anyway.
The reason I asked about Ford is that about 97, they stopped putting dipsticks in their transmissions - until owners complained. And fluid had to be drained and re-filled to spec through access hole in the floor.
I don't think this Jag problem is one of fluid, because there is no lag going from P to R or D and no apparent slipping in Reverse or going through the gears.
Thanks again for the reply.

1998 MY-ON V8 Sedan NA
VIN 001001-ON
812256-ON Checking Fluid Level -
ZF 5HP 24 E -
Revised Procedure
Issue:
This bulletin provides a more detailed procedure for checking the transmission fluid level.
Action:
To check the transmission fluid level accurately, proceed as follows: 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface and let the vehicle stand for at least 2 minutes. 2. At the PDU base station make the following menu selections: DIAGNOSTICS, TOOLBOX, POWERTRAIN, DATALOGGER. Connect the PDU to the vehicle and ensure that the transmission is not in limp-home mode and that no DTCs are stored. 3. On the PDU, make the following menu selections: DATALOGGER, TRANSMISSION, TOT (transmission oil temperature). Check that the transmission temperature is below 30°C if ambient temperatures allow. Allow to cool if necessary. NOTE: 30-40°C is the optimum temperature range for checking and filling transmission fluid. The range of 30-50°C is acceptable: Checking with a fluid temperature of 30°C represents the maximum fluid fill. Checking with a fluid temperature of 50°C represent the minimum fluid fill. Once the engine is running, the transmission fluid heats up rapidly. 4. Have the ATF filling: container prepared so you can add fluid immediately after opening the plug. Start the engine with the transmission in the Park position. 5. Verify that the idle speed in between 600-750 RPM. 6. Move the selector lever from the Park position to the Drive range and pause for 3 seconds. 7. Move the selector lever from the Drive range to the Reverse position and pause for 3 seconds. 8. Move the selector lever from the Reverse position to the Park positions. 9. Ensure that the fluid temperature has not risen excessively and immediately raise the vehicle and remove the fluid level/filler plug. 10. Fill with Esso ATF LT 71141 until the fluid begins to overflow from the fluid level/filler plug. 11. Wait at least one minute until the flow of fluid has reduced to a trickle. 12. Reinstall the plug and check the PDU to verify that the fluid temperature has not exceeded 50°C.
