Default Is it the Torque Converter???
I have recently purchased a 04 XJ8 Select Edition which has 36K and is in great shape. The question, when pulling away from a standstill the car is not shifting smoothly into second gear, is this related to the torque converter and how can it be corrected.

Thanks.

Does it use a ZF gearbox? If so, I'll be taking one apart monday or tuesdayto rebuild for aspare. By Friday I'll know these like the back of my hand. If it doesn't use a ZF box, well then, I'm sorry, I don't know.

Hey thanks and yes "ZF6". Did some research on this site and saw the TSB from 02/01/2006 regarding harsh transmission shifts, B#30706 S#10012462. Going to see theservice managerin the AM, will post with results.

Yeah, lets us know how it pans out for you. I'm interested to see what flaws the new transmissions have.
