Here's one source

https://www.sngbarratt.com/us/#!/Eng...20Jaguar%20XJS

In reality these are not Jaguar-unique. Google 'snap action micro switch'. Tons of choices. You can find a match for your kickdown switch in a few minutes for $2.00-$3.00 at the most...although $10 doesn't seem bad if you don't like searching and exploring all the choices

Cheers

Thank you, disconnected mine as every time I pushed the pedal to far it would downshift to 1st and stay there. Now, modulator will downshift at 45mph and below, if I need downshift above 45 I have to do it manually.
