2000 Jaguar XJ8 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your XJ8's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Jaguar, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your XJ8 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Jaguar XJ8, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Jaguar's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Jaguar XJ8 Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2000 Jaguar XJ8 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your XJ8 might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Jaguar XJ8 doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2000 Jaguar XJ8 drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
