What’s the Importance of Your 1989 XJS’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1989 Jaguar XJS transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Jaguar XJS transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your XJS at all.

1989 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and 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. 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? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1989 XJS’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 Jaguar XJS transmission fluid leak? Yes. Jaguar XJS transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who can fix my  Jaguar XJS transmission leak? When your XJS transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I still drive my Jaguar XJS if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your XJS to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
