If you have not read all the posts here it may be relevant to repeat GG / John's of 28th Feb. 2007.
It's why I recommend you buy the fluid yourself even when using an auto transmission specialist. (even Ashcroft told me they use Castrol.........not correct)
If all else fails locally the fluid is usually freely available from Rimmers Tel:- 01522 563344

I wonder just how many JATCO boxes fail due to incorrect fluid replacement rather than wear and tear. Bearing in mind what we hear is allegedly stated by some repairers "they all do that".
This is what I was saying MM I have now phoned 10 XPart Auto Service Centres and not One new the correct oil to put in these Boxes! This is disgusting and could cause a premature failure of Box. Are XPart Dealers that stupid? Most put in Castrol or whatever they have has also been stated, when told about correct oil they say never heard of that one even though its on there listings or it don't matter they are all the Same. A Firmly worded letter is now on the way to them and will be trying to find the head of XPart services re same!
All faith in the Garages has now been lost and would not recommend any oneto take their Car to these already phoned.
(Can they be listed with replies on Forum?)
