Back in 2005 I purchased a brand new XJ8L and love the car. Light and quick...I say.

Tranny problem?
3 weeks ago, while accelerating, the car lost its pick up and I heard a light whining or grinding noise from the tranny. The noise went away. Last night I'm at The Home Depot when this happens....I put her in Drive, and I feel the tranny engage...the car moves forward, but only at idle. I depress the throttle and the car will not go at all. Engine just revs like I was in Neutral. I could only coast. So I coast to a gas station...to call a tow. I get back in the car and start her up...problem one. I drove last 3 days cars is normal. I'm now afraid to drive it. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Most cars would require a top-off of auto-tranny fluid...but these cars have sealed trannys and no place to add ATF.

 

I have 58k miles
