Jaguar S Type Shifter Failure & Repair
Jaguar S-Type Shifter Repair
The Jaguar S-Type and Lincoln LS are sister vehicles sharing design and many common parts.
A common problem with the 1999-2002 model years is the failure of the shifter assembly in the automatic transmission.
The problem is caused by a plastic block inside the shifter assembly that bears considerable force during normal shifting while driving.
The average expense for this repair is $500-$1,000 with the part often back-ordered, taking up to six months to acquire from Jaguar.
Used parts are often the only immediate source for repairs but are no guarantee of long-term fix.
Professional Fleet has discovered an aftermarket source of an alternative design that will replace the hard plastic block with an aluminum version.
This part costs approximately $179-$259 and can be installed at home by those comfortable with automotive repairs.
At Profession Fleet, our skilled technicians can install the replacement for you in about 30 minutes.
In addition to shifter failure, other common problems with these vehicles are rattles and clunks coming from front lower ball joints and struts or rear lower strut bushings.
If your vehicle is experiencing these problems, bring it to Professional Fleet for an inspection, diagnosis and repair.
