Replying to: wojcik (May 06, 2007 12:23 pm) TWO problems had to be corrected: 1. My transmission really did have a mechanical problem and a rebuild fixed the internal hydraulic issues. Cottman Transmissions did this for 60% of the price that AAMCO quoted. 2. The transmission "neutralization" problem had to do with the ABS system. The ABS sensor and harness to the left rear tire were bad and needed to be replaced. However, this didn't correct the problem. A bearing was loose on the same tire, and tighten that finally fixed the problem. What REALLY irritates me is that after the transmission was rebuilt, and after the local Jag dealer replaced the rear wheel ABS hardware, they DIDN'T tighten the bearing - resulting in the persistent neutralization and their stated desire to spend $13K of my money to put in a factory rebuilt transmission. Cottman Trany tightened the bearing saving me that experience. Somebody over at the Jag dealership must have slipped and passed on the info to Cottman. So, in summary, SHAME ON JAGUAR and their dealers!!!! There is NO excuse for a transmission to give out at 84,000 miles unless you are in nascar. I love my car, but this is the last Jaguar I buy.

What cause the gearbox fault light to come on? After the gearbox light came on it didn't want to go into gear.

Replying to: scflower (Jan 13, 2008 11:17 am) The gearbox fault is an internal mechanical issue, and you may need a transmission rebuild  I, too, had the occasional issue of the transmission not wanting to shift out of part and into gear, and turning my Jag off and restarting it seemed to work. However, it wasn't related to the gearbox fault light coming on. This problem has gone away, too, with the transmission rebuild. Hope this info helps. |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 05, 2006 1:25 pm) I have a 1990 xj6 that is cherry but,I may have to junk her because of this problem with the transmission. I cannot fatham a transmission going out at 105 thousand miles when old people drive it all the time. Does this ring a bell With anyone? So what is my option? Thanks Glenn |

Replying to: euphonium (Jul 04, 2008 7:49 pm) You are partly right. BUT i plan on selling it to the wrecking yard as a parts car. Too bad because it is a fine car. BUT jaguar has screwed a lot of people. With a bad transmission. NOW researching putting in a different transmission. Will let everyone know what i find, I own body shops! so i know a lot of people.

My 1995 Jaguar XJ6 began having a transmission problem in the last few days. It feels like the transmission is slipping as the car feels like it's bucking a little or like the transmission is grabbing and then periodically letting go for a second. No lights have come on and the fluid is full. I live on a hill and once recently I had to pull the car out of park a little harder than normal and heard a little clang, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I didn't know if there was some adjustment it needed as replacing the transmission makes no sense in a car worth under $5000. The car has 135,000 miles and I believe it's the original transmission. Any suggestions on what to check?
