2005 Jaguar XJ8 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Jaguar's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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 light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your XJ8’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your XJ8 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my XJ8's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Jaguar XJ8 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jaguar XJ8? Yes. Jaguar XJ8 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
