What brand is the Jaguar 8AT transmission?

[Daniela]

Jaguar 8AT uses a transmission provided by ZF. ZF is a globally active technology group that offers mobility system solutions for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and industrial technology. It is also a major supplier of special transmissions for ships, forklifts, railway locomotives, and helicopters. The Jaguar 8AT transmission employs an 8-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting capability. This transmission has eight forward gears. Essentially, a manual-automatic transmission is a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality, designed to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic vehicles. When using the Jaguar 8AT transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged neglect can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While manual transmission drivers often coast in neutral, doing so in an automatic can cause overheating and create shock when re-engaging Drive (D) mode. Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift prematurely to demonstrate "smooth" operation, but this severely damages transmission gears and may lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in Drive (D) mode. Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or upshift prematurely during steep ascents. Use manual mode to lock lower gears or sport mode for transmission protection. Do not tow long distances with drive wheels grounded. For disabled automatic vehicles, always use flatbed towing with the transmission in Neutral (N). Never tow with ropes or with drive wheels engaged.
