All my XJS's are Auto and all have the 'T' bar Gear Knob but I fancy a change to the round knob that I recently saw on an Auto XJS.

Where can I get one, how is it fitted?

 

You can get one anywhere your heart desires.

I got mine from an XJ40.

Cut the "T" off, locate in the piles of spare bolts in the shed a suitable threaded bolt and nut, weld the bolt upside down onto the cut gearlever, slide some black heatshrink over the lever, and then screw the knob on, warm and fuzzies all round, followed by a few JD's.

 

Cut off the 'T' Bar! (recoils in horror) I'd rather slash my own wrists!

 

If you're going to slash your wrists........can I have your red convertible?

 

You asked I replied.

At least its a Jag gear knob, not like some I have seen. RICED.

Its your car, do what you want, dont slash it the Jag, blood and leather do not mix.

 

Ill take your house and belongings if they are up for grabs

 

LOL... modifications require modifications!
personally I like the T shift, I just wish the handle was made of wood that matched the dash. I've seen aftermarket ones, but they are made of a darker wood.

 

Maybe I will cut the 'T' bar off after all!

 

Only Joking Grant! and always open to new ideas and opinions but taking a saw to the 'T' bar does seem a little extreme!

 

I have never been so overwhelmed by the Sympathy that I've been getting!

 

I was the same when I decided to fit mine, but I was just sooooooo over the "T", and it sat too high for my liking.

I found a lever in the wrecking yard, so did the deed prior to dismantling the car, so if I hated what I did I could reverse the procedure without too much grief.

Never looked back.

I hear the same about stereo head unit changes, fair dinkum, its the 21st century, and cassettes are so hard to find these days.

 

Well boys, old fashioned people like me think that even wooden ski slopes are a retrograde step. Look at this for a classic black and chrome wonder. Mind you, even I think that it will be better once it has a radio! And I am no purist on steering wheels though..
