1986 Jaguar XJS Transmission Q&A

  • 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. 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 your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your XJS towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your XJS is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my XJS transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Jaguar XJS’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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.
  • 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.

  • Should I avoid driving my Jaguar XJS if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your XJS if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
