Shift Quality Adapts

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jaguar XJR, 2005 Jaguar XJ8, 2004 Jaguar XJR, and 2004 Jaguar XJ8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The shift quality adapts are used to obtain a high quality and consistent shift feel. This is achieved through monitoring shift quality and then adapting the shift pressures and shift energy management to overcome hardware variability and "in service wear".

It will typically take a new transmission approximately 161 kilometers (100 miles) of use to fully adapt.
