What Does Your Jaguar XK8 Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your XK8’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Jaguar XK8 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Jaguar XK8 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your XK8 at all.

2006 Jaguar XK8 Transmission Q&A

  • 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 a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your XK8’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your XK8 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my XK8's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Jaguar XK8 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jaguar XK8? Yes. Jaguar XK8 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Where can I get my  Jaguar XK8 transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for XK8 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Jaguar XK8 with 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 XK8 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
