Jaguar Autobox - Gazza
Further to the Merc Autobox thread, I am interested in the engineering issues with the Jaguar's auto-boxes (I have always love Jags). My understanding is that the 4-speed mechnical-hydralic autobox fitted to the 94-97 straight-six engines XJ6 were very reliable. What's people's view on these 4-speed box?

Also, What's the verdict on the 5-speed electronic autoboxes fitted to 97-on XJ8 and the 5-speed box fitted to the S-Type? Is the S-type box the same as the XJ8?

There are A LOT of autobox failures with regards to S-Type autobox on CarSurvey but not that many failure on XJ8.

Many thanks, Gazza
