What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1984 Jaguar XJ6

Your XJ6 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Jaguar, from the axles to the transmission.

When you tune into you 1984 Jaguar XJ6 drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. Follow Jaguar's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Jaguar XJ6 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1984 Jaguar XJ6 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your XJ6 might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Jaguar XJ6 doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1984 Jaguar XJ6? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
