What’s the Importance of Your 2008 XKR’s Transmission?

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 XKR’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2008 Jaguar XKR transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Jaguar XKR transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your XKR at all.

2008 Jaguar XKR Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Jaguar tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. 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.
  • When should I have my XKR's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2008 XKR’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Jaguar's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jaguar XKR? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jaguar XKR, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Where can I get my  Jaguar XKR transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair XKR transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Jaguar XKR if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
