Default Transmission chirp XJ8L 2005

Looking for advice on an issue I have recently noticed. Between 2nd and 3rd I am beginning to hear a small chirp sound and it seems to be getting more frequent. Very concerned about this. Also the car doesn't always seem to always downshift to 1st when coming to a stop. In other words, as I apply throttle from a stop, the car will begin to move in 2nd and downshift to 1st after a few feet of movement. This all points to transmission issues to me, but I'm a rookie Your sage advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Marc

You will get many more replies if you post in the correct forum. This is the X308 forum, you need the X350 forum.

The ZF6HP26 is for the later cars as the X308 uses a ZF5HP24 or Mercedes gearbox for the SC 4.0 version.

Plenty of info and TSBs from Jaguar about the SQUAWK while shifting.

Good luck.
