Questions About 2004 Jaguar XK8’s Transmission

  • 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 XK8? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your XK8’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my XK8's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Jaguar XK8’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Jaguar XK8 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Jaguar XK8 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.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
