Hi I am collecting parts for a Manual conversion of my 2006 XKR using the S-Type 2.7 Diesel 6 speed gearbox. I am just after a daily driver, not a race car. I can see how to do all the mechanical work - flywheel, XJS pedal box etc.I am not sure where to start with the electronics - I would like all the guages to work. Does anyone have advice recomendations for this? Tried conacting lwoods1 and melhookv12 as they seem to have done this but got noi reply
Many thanks

Indeed it can be done and yes I am doing it for a customer.... To this thing no less... We somewhat modified the back of it...!
We will be taking a slightly different approach than what other companies have done as I don't like using the original ECU and later this car will have a supercharged engine fitted so I want something I can map...
I actually converted an XKR engine to manual before Jaguar even done it back in 98, my track XK8 is running a T56 from a Dodge Viper, the engine for my track car is the pic for my avatar with the throttle bodies, I've been known to dabble....

How can I get one?
I'm also interested in a manual swap. Does anyone have a complete playbook on this yet? Part numbers, basic install guide, etc.
