Why is Your 2008 S-Type’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Jaguar S-Type transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Jaguar S-Type transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your S-Type isn’t working at all.

Questions About 2008 Jaguar S-Type’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Jaguar's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Jaguar tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S-Type’s towing capacity. 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.
  • How often does my S-Type transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Jaguar S-Type transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Jaguar. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jaguar S-Type? Yes, your Jaguar S-Type can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your S-Type ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who fixes Jaguar S-Type transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair S-Type transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a S-Type with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
