Purchased a 2000 S type 4.2 Seller has a very detailed service records.
He had stated that there was some shift issues only after 3-4 hours of driving.
Seller is a very well to due business man in Carmel CA. Car is immaculate to say the least so i believe what i heard and still do. Any way what i am now hearing and feeling 4 four days after the purchase is from 1st to 2nd gear a slight lag, low volume low desible whirl. Very slight but i am very sensitive to any nose, granted the car is new to me. So i figure from the post i have read it is time for a filter and fluid change. After reviewing all service records this has never been performed. Any input would be greatly appreciated. thank you
Jay

You have the 4.0 with the Ford 5 speed trans., which had issues. The 4.2 didn't come into service till 2003 and was coupled with the ZF 6 speed trans. Tell the "well to do business man" to replace the torque converter and R&R the transmission.

 

Mistake somewhere - either not 2000 or not 4.2. Let us know which!

 

Thank you for the link, being new to Jaguar and forums i appriacaite the help very much.
Looks like a trans service is in order.

 

Jay, I guess you have a 2000 "S" 4.0 with the 5 speed Ford transmission?

 

Welcome Jay from beautiful Carmel, I'm Jay from SoCal by-the-desert...
Let us know how the dealer in Monterrey/Seaside works, if that's where you take it.

 

Yes, 4.0 not 4.2

 

Thanks for the welcome note, will not be using dealer in Monterey.
I am across the bay in Santa Cruz area. Will be using independent service.

 

Yes it is the 2000 4.0

 

To late to get the seller to R&R trans, So why do mention the torque convert?
Was this a common issue and sounds related to the 2nd gear slow shiftinf with noise.
Thanks
