will a 2000 xj8 transmission fit a 1998 xj8 both have 4.0 v8 thank you for any help or advise

 

I believe all XJ8s that are normally aspirated use the same trans


The supercharged cars use a different trans

 

I have swapped AJ26 gearboxes into an AJ27 and 'vice versa'. I have read where a forum member did this and reported having to swap valve bodies or internal harnesses to rectify a gearbox fault indication.

They do have different part numbers but like I stated...... I have done the swap with good results.

If you have both boxes then you have all the parts needed if a fault arises.

That should not be a problem I had mine rebuilt and installed fo5 $2,600. Safer than an unknown junkyard transmission. Get a rebuilt valve body and A drum at a minimum and you will save yourself problems later. Spend a little more and have dependable car.
As long as the newer transmission has a good maintenance history life if good.

 

the trans I have was reman. for 4800.00 with life time warranty so was planning to try and find a jag with bad tranny to put it in, thanks for all the input very helpful
