1983 Jaguar XJ6 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Jaguar's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for 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. Defying your XJ6 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your XJ6 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my XJ6's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Jaguar XJ6 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Jaguar XJ6 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Jaguar XJ6 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

You might even experience transmission failure.
