1997 Jaguar XJ6 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jaguar? 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. 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? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1997 XJ6’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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jaguar XJ6? Yes, your Jaguar XJ6 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your XJ6 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.
