Questions About 2006 Jaguar XKR’s Transmission

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Jaguar tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your XKR towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your XKR is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my XKR transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Jaguar XKR’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.
