Default squeal/chirp

I've noticed when I take off @ 35 mph I get a short chirp/squeal. Seems to be coming from the back I think. Just to be sure I used some belt dressing but its still there. Now i'm thinking maybe a u joint? Any ideas????

Thanks,

Marco

I bet you have the infamous 6 speed transmission chirp. See https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...n-chirp-56905/

I think the additive referenced in the TSB was discontinued and is getting increasing hard to find...you might need a trans. fluid drain and change to solve it (the additive is in the transmission fluid now).
