2002 XJR transmission question
2002 XJR transmission question
Gents,
I'm looking into gettting a 2002 XJR X308 in lengthened wheelbase version.
Can someone confirm the transmission used is a Mercedes-Benz W5A580 5G-Tronic, similar to the XKR, rather than a ZF 5HP24?
Many thanks in advance.

I believe the drivetrain is substantially an XJR.
Let us know what you find!
