Total transmission failure?
1999 XJ8. Had been running perfect, 80K miles. Yesterday while backing up I felt a couple of thumps and the transmission now will not engage in forward or reverse. Nothing lit up on the instrument panel to indicate anything unusual. Is it a transmission, drive train, or other.
Anyone have a similar experience?
Any ideas?

Have you checked the linkage at the gearbox to make sure it is still connected?

I'm a recent X308 owner myself and reading up everything I can find...
Before incriminating the tranny (which I hear is pretty reliable) I would look in the differential since they are weaker than previous models and its been reported that crownwheel /pinion teeth sheering off. If I'm right it should be easier on your wallet. If not at least you'll have that possibility eliminated...
Good luck and please report back

The XJR has a much more reliable transmission than the XJ8. If the rest
of the car is ok, it is worth fixing. You Tube has a video of guys
overhauling the ZF 5HP24 in his living room.
This table lists which transmission are in the various cars.
