Swallows Jaguar | Jaguar specialist

 

Actually I'd just be happy if I could get the kit that allows you to paddle shift. But wonder how hard it is to swap in the automatic like they did. Thanks for posting!

 

He must've bought it from XKRacer, becuase that is total copy/paste from his website lol.

edit: yup, he bought it.

 

I have as good a manual transmission as I need!
Its the left hand side of the J gate!

Here in the UK, long time XKEC club member Norman Durban is sorting the final teething problems, to offer a manual gearbox conversion kit.

 

Very nice - hadn't thought of the Aston Martin variation - would love to see a write up/pics.

 

I love the wheels... those look amazing.

And I can't fathom how much an Aston transmission would cost... too much for my interest in conversion...

 

It's only a T56 that you find in any viper, GTO or a whole load of other cars, the Aston AMV8 used the Jaguar block as is in a 4.2 just with a flat plane crank to take it out to 4.7

Does mean you can use the flywheel and clutch but they are not cheap

The wheels are from Image, a 3 piece billet


Of course if you are really keen you can use a manual box from a S type V6 diesel, it bolts straight on, just a shame you guys in the US never got that variation
