Most likely it was your transmission that went bad. Automatic x-type jags are fitted with JATCO transmissions, which are japanese made. Unfortunately, these transmissions have been known to quit very early in the cars life. Its not uncommon to hear about x-type jags tranny quitting even at 30,000 miles, which is terribly sad. Manual jags have the same tranny that rolls royce use, and dont encounter anywhere near as many problems as do the JATCO trannys. This is porbably the biggest issue with early model x-type jags, which is why many peole opt to go for the manual tranny to avoid all the mishap. Hope you have solved your problem by now though. Best of luck.

Turned out to be drive shaft. Apparently it was popping (or disengaging). I'm not a mechanic but it was split or something. Garage didn't believe me but when I asked them to drive it for a while, it let them down at the lights. It must have been down to expansion or something because when you left for 5 mins after embarassing yourself at the lights, you could drive away no problem...until 5 minutes later at another set of lights that is....

#23 of 39 Muscle Car Roar, or a problem??? by philipd3

Jun 12, 2011 (6:49 am)

I have a X type 2.5 V6 Auto, 2004 model done 37K . Drives fine but...... as it goes up through the gears, under acceleration there is a noise that sounds like a fairly queit muscle car roar. It stops as the gearbox shifts up, and returns though the next gear shift. It sounds a bit like a blowning gasket on an exhaust, but it is not that.
 
So, is it a normal feature of this car or.....does anyone know what it could be. I am not really worried I guess, but just curious!!

I have a 2002 xtype. I have lost reverse but drive still works. I put in "R" and it engages but no movement.
A couple of questions:
1. I hear it could be a shift/gear sensor. Where is that located
2. Where can I check and add transmission oil.

First thing you need to do is get a scan to see if there is a transmission trouble code to give us a lead as to where to start.
 
Transmission Fluid Level Check
 
I think you'll either need an instruction book for this because it's easy to make a bad mistake: Here's what they say about it:
 
WARNING:
 
VERIFY PROPER PLUG IS REMOVED FOR LEVEL CHECK.
 
Because of the similarity to other plugs and fasteners on the transmission, the potential for loosening an incorrect fastener, instead of the level plug, exists. There is a risk for internal transmission damage if the improper fastener is removed.
 
Removal of the reduction gear brake band bolt can cause total loss of drive or a substantial reduction in the performance of the transmission.
Removal of the parking pawl rod plate retaining bolt (located next to the XYZ switch) will result in problems/gear lever movement restrictions.

How can I get a scan to see what type of transmission problem I may have?

 Your transmission is Japanese (JATCO) and most shops should be familiar with it. You might try for a free scan at Autozone or similar store but their scanners may not do this, I don't know. Worth a shot. Otherwise, you'll have to go to a specialist and take it from there. If you get a code, come back and we'll look it up for you if we can. Good luck!
