Transmission problem
2000 S-TYPE Jaguar Models V6 Two Wheel Drive Manual 124000 KM
----------------------------------------------------------------
i recently had a my car serviced and new clutch fitted (complete). by the way all services were done - by recognised jaguar dealers (s.africa) - 2 days after i received my car back from dealer - my car switch off completely no lights no power - nothing.
the car was towed back and they discovered wires loose near gear box....1 week later i got stuck again.... i was told that a hydraulic pipe burst and that caused my clutch to fail...once again they fix the problem....3 weeks later i reported to the dealer and told that my clutch feels extremely light.... the car was once again tested and they said it was perfect...
just recently i have taken the car back to their workshop- smells like clucth burning and the car shudders in first gear. all this has happed in a space of three months - after complete service & clutch replaced.
i must also state that i have been driving cars for the last 25 years and i have never experienced this problem before......please help.....

Yep, the new clutch they installed is bad or the clutch fluid leaked unto the clutch disc either way it need to be replaced again. Here is a guide and a video to help you get the problem fixed.
