Shift Point Selection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Jaguar XK8 and 2001 Jaguar XK8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The gearshift points are selected, by the TCM, as a function of the output speed, engine load, selector position and shift program selected. The operator has control over the shift points via the selector lever, throttle pedal movement, kickdown function and mode switch.
