THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Today, 150 Miles of motorway, and the transmission work correctly....at this point, i suppose that Oil is not correct
Will replace and check

Have a Great week end

Jose

100% sure, position D

I mean that, motorway, abt 70 miles, dont shift fm sencond to third.
After abt 15 miles, always in sencond, suddendly shift fm second to third.....

Maurizio, no understando what you mean?

are you sure the shifter is in POSITION D ? (Drive),

Well!!
Solenoid, ok
Oil, ok
Today, abt 40 Miles of motorway, start to shifting after abt 15 Miles.....

there is a video in youtube by a crazy mechanic called Scotty and he explains why you should not change the transmission fluid.

Dear Jose

good idea, will disconect the solenoid and will check
cross the finger, saturday and sunday will have Jag meeting on the beautifull Wine Land, BAROLO !!!!

ciao

if the oil is not burnt, leave it alone, changing the fluid is not the answer to automatic shifter problems.

It is probably the bands needing adjusting or replacing.

You can disconnect the solenoid under the car to see if it shifts to third gear.

Dears

the oil is pink(red) and dont smell burnt and more than up to the mark, but dont shift…...
Tomorrow will recheck the hold speed control solenoide, will change oil with fresh one, and if dont work…..will disassemble the gearbox
this is Jag !!!!

Thanks Jose why me? lol.
All I know about the transmission oil is that it has to be pink and not smell burnt. If it is on the mark of the dipstick that is fine. The gearbox can leak, we all know that by the state of the underside of our cars at some point. Jaguar used to say it was their anti rust system at work. So as long as the fluid is Pink, not burnt and is up to the mark all is fine.

ok Cass, it's on you now
