My STR has a paddle shift gear changes. Was going through spec of these cars - it is not standard is it?
Will post few pics 2morrow.
As mine was tuned by Arden probably it was part of the upgrade

 

Arden did offer this, and you are correct that the factory STRs did not. How does it perform? I always thought you needed a lot of money to do research and development for a proper paddle shift system, but let us know if it performs well and reliably. If so, you have a much needed upgrade that I wish the STRs all came with!

 

It performs really well.Response is quick, cannot find nothing wrong with it.
Thanx

 

Then you have a modification that I wish all these cars came with! Please post pics ASAP! I can't wait to see them!

 

That is very interesting indeed - I'd like to see some pics as well! How is the shift response compared to the J-gate? Sounds like it may be quicker? I'd imagine they used paddle shifters/system from another vehicle that uses the ZF 6 speed...just a wild guess.

 

Hi,
This company in the U.K. fit one.

Racing Green Jaguar. - S-Type 1999 onwards, SpeedShift sequential gear change

It's a well-known but very rarely-fitted option due to it being rather expensive.

 

It is a shame that some of the paper work is missing from upgrade done on the car. Meeting with my mate 2morrow need to grab phone number for company done all of them bits. Get copies of everything is possible.

Pic from behind steering, it has two buttons on each side low and high

 

Looks exactly the same as mine. Need to confirm if they did the job? It may be it
Thanx for link
Seems few quid were spent on my Jag no messing about

 

Alright, we need a video of it in action now....
