While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Jaguar XKR

Your XKR drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Jaguar, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your XKR’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2006 Jaguar XKR to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Jaguar's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Jaguar XKR Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2006 Jaguar XKR drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Jaguar could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
