Here are some additional tips for manually shifting the Jaguar XK8:
- Shift up when the engine reaches about 3,000 RPMs.
- Shift down when the engine drops below 2,000 RPMs.
- Avoid shifting into a gear that is too high or too low for the current speed.
- Manually shifting can improve fuel economy and performance, but it can also be more difficult than automatic shifting.
