Loud 'squeak' from rear of car
(04 XJ) When accelerating out of fast turn, I've sometimes heard a loud "squeak" from the back of the car. If I drive nice and slow, it doesn't happen. But if I take a turn quickly and accelerate out of the turn, I'll hear that "ook" sound coming from what I think are the rear wheels. (And it's kind of loud, too.)
As my factory warranty is about to expire, this is one of the things on my list to have looked at, but was wondering if anyone has had this before?

RE: Loud 'squeak' from rear of car
I have an '05 XJ8 with similar problems about two months ago. An "ook" sound was coming from the rear each time I accelerated. Initially thoughtit was coming from the rear axle or one of the wheels. Brought the car in to the dealer for a check and a senior tech told me that the noise was coming from the gearbox. They addedan oil additive into the gearbox and the "ooking" disappeared. All was done under warranty. So Jag Genius is "spot on" in his assessment!

RE: Loud 'squeak' from rear of car
Keep in mind that this TSB (JTB00040 - 7/31/07) is only for a "squawk/chirp noise during transmission gear shifts". It does not apply to any squeaks that occur when the transmission is not shifting. It also is related to shifts between 3rd and 4th gear (or 5-3 or 6-3 downshifts) only. Because of this, I am suspicious that this is the condition that you're referring to. a 3-4 shift coming out of a turn would be a fairly high speed turn.

Thanks to all for such a helpful response.
Jag_genius and XJ856Sing: It would be a relief to find out that it was such an easy problem to fix. I'm hoping that's what it is because I don't want have complicated problems.
wdonovan: I get what you're saying (and that's what I'm fearful of). I'm going to be an optimist and hope Jag_genius and 56Sing are right.
It'll be some time beforeI take it in. I'll post what the dealer finds.

RE: Loud 'squeak' from rear of car
My car makes this squawk once in awhile. I've been thinking of taking it in and getting the fluid modified to stop it, but it worries me that if they can't get the fluid right to start with, can adding extra stuff to it get it right? How do we know they know what to do now when they didn't before? All the caveats in the TSB for this fix saying you can't ever add this stuff again and the warnings make me nervous. Frankly, in looking at the 6HP26 and the things it is doing tells me this tranny is not very well sorted out. I used to think ZF was a name to be trusted but after my current Mini CVT and this 6 speed, I'm notso sure of them. Theses two trannies have some advanced thinking in them, but neither one was tested adequately for my tastes.

There are two items for this TSB number JTB00040. I already took care of The Hard shifts just a few thousand miles ago, and now I have the other issue, the Trans noise.
1.Harsh transmission shifts ( already performed $200 at the dealer..for a reflash)
2.Transmission Noise during gear shifts ( dealer wants to charge me $250 )
Here is the rub, although it’s a 2004 xj8, it only has 50k miles on the clock and it’s still under the Jaguar select care warranty until November. But what good is this warranty if it doesn’t cover anything? Shouldn't this be covered???
That wumping noise from the front…they told me I needed an alignment; I disagreed, but did it anyway. paid $150 and guess what, still makes the noise.
Condensation in the headlights, no cracks or chips in the glass. It would be safe to assume it’s a seal problem. Not covered.
I need to find out who to talk to in regards to this Warranty. I wish I knew more about this noise. Is this band-aid on a more serious trans problem waiting to happen down the line?
