Manual Transmission

Hi,
I was looking at the 5 speed transmission from the driveman and it seems that they only have these for the XJS V12. Is this correct or am I missing something?

I principal, you can source a genuine Jaguar 5 speed transmission, as fitted to some 6 cylinder XJSs. pedal box, clutch etc etc all there.

Jomo,

The manual box fitted in AJ16 XJSs was a Getrag 290 but frankly a Getrag 265 as fitted to the AJ6 XJSs will do just as well in your car, if the box is in good condition.

all the while being incredibly cheaper of an option. Even if you pull one from a car overseas the shipping would probably end up being less that buying a new kit from somewhere
