'94 XJ6 shifter problem
Need some advice as I'm new to Jaguars.
Saw an ad for a '94 Jaguar XJ6. Seller describes his car as having "a problem with the shifter and sometimes you can't get the car into park." Is this a bad transmission, or is this an easy fix. Other than the "shifter" problem car has no other issues.
Thanks.

My '98 XJ8 VDP has the same problem once in a while.
When it happens, I just shift into another gear for a bit or run through the J-gate, and then it works fine.
When I brought it into the dealer recently for scheduled maintenance they could not reproduce or diagnose the problem. Hasn't happened since.
Maybe its just one of the Jag "personality quirks" you hear about?!

RE: '94 XJ6 shifter problem
Sounds realtively minor... I wouldn't discount an othrwise nice Jag for a shifter porblem. I think you may want to look at the brake switch, it locks the car in and out of park. I had a similar problem only in my case the shifter wouldn't come out of park on occassion. The cause was a worn brake swithc, not expensive and an easy fix. When you step on the brake after starting, you should hear a slight click from the shifter. If not it's not working properly.
