I just bought a 2002 x type 3.0 AWD with 31,000 miles. it was sold to me at a good price because the trans was slipping.
I deal with salvage cars and figured i could get a trans from another car, however i am having problems understanding what trans this car needs.

I did call Jaguar to only find out they were just about useless in helping.

I have heard that the X Type had the JF506E Trans. However I cannot find out if this was for the 2.5L or 3.0L AWD. About the only thing Jaguar told me when calling was they did not have the same trans in the two cars.

Now to have a Jaguar like this come in to the salvage yard is rare. However I heard this trans was also in VW and Mavda MPV. Those there are many of in the yard. but I do not know if they will fit a 3.0L X Type.

Also I saw something about the VIN# and some listing trans missions for the X type 2002 3.0L thru Vin C79328 and another trans for VIN from C79329.

My car's vin# is an early one tru Vin C79328.

At the moment the only transmission I can confirm to fit my car as a replacement is one coming from another 2002 X Type 3.0L awd with VIN thru C79328.

I wanted to know if anyone else can confirm to me that I have other options for a transmission. Right now it seems pretty slim and could be needle in haystack for me without paying over $2000 for one.

Does anyone know if the JF506E is the trans in the 3.0L AWD and is it possible to use one from A VW etc...?

I know if I can use a VW one it will be easy to find.
