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