Can Jaguar drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Jaguar drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Jaguar XJ12, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Jaguar XJ12 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a XJ12’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

A multitude of problems can activate your XJ12’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can my XJ12 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your XJ12’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my XJ12 serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your XJ12. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your XJ12.

Is my XJ12’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your XJ12 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your XJ12 forward.

1996 Jaguar XJ12 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your XJ12's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Jaguar, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 1996 Jaguar XJ12 to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Jaguar's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Jaguar XJ12 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1996 Jaguar XJ12 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Jaguar XJ12 may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Jaguar XJ12 drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 1996 Jaguar XJ12 drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
