Why is Your 2004 XKR’s Transmission So Important?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2004 Jaguar XKR transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Jaguar XKR transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your XKR isn’t working at all.

2004 Jaguar XKR 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. Defying your XKR towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my XKR's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Jaguar XKR’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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jaguar XKR? Yes. Jaguar XKR 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 XKR transmission leak? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair XKR transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!
  • Can I still drive my Jaguar XKR if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your XKR with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
