1998 Jaguar XJR Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jaguar? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Jaguar? 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 XJR’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my XJR's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Jaguar XJR transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 Jaguar XJR transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jaguar XJR, 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.

  • Can I drive my Jaguar XJR with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your XJR if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
