1983 Jaguar Vanden Plas Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Jaguar's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Jaguar? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Vanden Plas’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my Vanden Plas transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1983 Vanden Plas’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Jaguar, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Jaguar Vanden Plas leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jaguar Vanden Plas, potentially causing transmission problems.
