Keeping Your Jaguar Transmission on the Go

Jaguar transmissions mainly depend on the fluid to do all the work. The transmission plays a huge role in transferring hydraulic pressure to shift gears; in that way, moving parts are lubricated and your jaguar transmission is cooled down even when in a long distance drive. Your Jaguar transmission is able to hold the fluid for a long time but could still deteriorate in the long run.


Regular Checking Of Transmission Fluid

For some jaguar transmissions, you can still check for the transmission fluid level with the use of a dipstick; your manual says it all. On the other hand, new models of jaguar transmissions can be assessed with computer diagnostics. This is an easier way for mechanics and technicians to identify problems without going under the hood.  A tip in checking your transmission fluid level: check your transmission fluid on both a running engine and in park. You will see a huge difference between them.

Know What Can Damage Your Transmission

The common reason for transmission problems is overheating. This normally happens when you deal with heavy loads, towing a heavy trailer, getting out of the snow, or driving through an extremely hot weather. When your jaguar transmission over heats, the lubricating quality of your fluid fades leaving deposits inside the transmission that could circulate and damage the moving parts. When metal parts of your jaguar transmission warps and valves stick in, the sooner transmission failure signs appear. Overheating is just one of the reasons for damage; design flaws, faulty parts and lack of maintenance are also the reasons for your transmission problems.

What to Know About an Overdrive

Automatic Jaguar transmissions give you the chance to use the overdrive or fifth gear. When you turn on the overdrive, your vehicle changes gears when it reaches a certain speed of 50-60 kph depending on the load. This helps you speed up with lesser rpm, thus, helping your Jaguar transmission.

Experiencing problems with your Jaguar transmission is normal. All you have to learn is how to identify problems and determine when a professional mechanic is needed. Make sure to be with a reputable repair company to avoid return jobs and extra charges.
