Jaguar reputation- Posted by Ari [Email] (#2847) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ari) on Fri, 8 Dec 2000 08:54:37 In Reply to: Saab trans. like JAGUAR? So...., sl, Fri, 8 Dec 2000 03:24:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Jaguar's have a good reputation? In the past five years or so, since Ford got ahold of them, reliability has improved. But Jaguars have been famous for their reliability, but only in the negative sense. Lucas "Prince Of Darkness" electrics and build quality that made Yugo's look as solid as a bank vault.
I believe that some Jag's had ZF transmissions, like the 9000. But not all ZF's are bad (I believe BMW uses ZF). The transmission design in the 9000 is particularly finicky - good ones are good, and bad ones are very, very, bad. But that doesn't mean that any ZF is a horror show.
The OG900 transmission is a Saab design that's been around since rocks were young.
