2003 Jaguar S-Type Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jaguar? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Jaguar S-Type? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your S-Type towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S-Type is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my S-Type's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2003 S-Type’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Jaguar's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Jaguar S-Type transmission fluid leak? Yes. Jaguar S-Type transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

  • Is it okay to drive a S-Type with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your S-Type if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
