It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1983 Jaguar XJS transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Jaguar XJS transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your XJS at all.

1983 Jaguar XJS Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Jaguar's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Jaguar XJS? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your XJS’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my XJS transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Jaguar XJS 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Jaguar XJS leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jaguar XJS, 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.
