Default 1st time JAG Owner

Hello to all-
Recently, I purchased a 2000 XJ8 with 131,000 miles, but in excellent physical & overall mechanical condition - one owner and largely dealer maintained. The biggest issue I have is a transmission that "bumps" into reverse and drive if RPMS are above approx 1.0. I had it checked out - local Brit/American shop wanted 6K to install a rebuilt trans/AAMCO assessed it at about 4K to rebuild in their shop. Other than that, it feels and drives like a classic. Love it! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers!

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

If you haven’t already you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for. To do this go to, User CP, Edit Signature, Add Vehicle Details and such and Save Your Signature.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.

Welcome to the forum,

Head on over and ask the XJ8 guys about your tranny.

Welcome! There is a wealth of information here and I would echo the recommendation to check out the XJ8 forums for questions about the transmission.
