2000 Jaguar XJ8 STAYS IN FIRST GEAR
2000 XJ8 (64000 miles) has been fine for years. Stopped to fuel car and when I left station car hung up in first gear. Sliding the gear selector over to manual side of Jgate I could shift car thru gears. Transmission has been shifting perfectly the last 10 years. When in D it stays in first gear and when slowing down if you try to speed up you will get a catchup bump. feels like low trans fluid but you can shift it manually at least to gear 4. Summer use car only for us now but I need to fix. Transmission is dry and the car has no leaks! Any ideas... I understand the zf transmission leaves a lot to be desired. Another thing (no idea if it is culprit) the Jgate has resistance or seems to bind in the P-N-D area but is butter smooth on the manual side.

To start with, be sure to bookmark this... JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource ...you'll want to look up the transmission manual. There's a possibility it may be your rotary gear selection module.
