Why is Your 2008 XJ8’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your XJ8’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Jaguar XJ8 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Jaguar XJ8 transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your XJ8 at all.

Questions About 2008 Jaguar XJ8’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Jaguar tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. 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.
  • Does my XJ8's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2008 XJ8’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Jaguar. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Jaguar XJ8? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jaguar XJ8, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who can fix my  Jaguar XJ8 transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for XJ8 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a XJ8 with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
