I just wonder why Jag uses so many of these weak ass torx fasteners. The stamping out of the star actually takes away metal from where you need it when a torque load (tightening or loosening) is put on it, MB found this out when they tried to use them for head bolts. I swap them out for flange bolt whenever possible.

The oil level/temp sender mounts to the oil pan, nothing wrong with mine but Jag wanted $25 JUST FOR THE DAM SEAL! I found one at a local seal specialty store for $.97..lol

ALWAYS chase the threads of problem nuts or bolts if possible before re installing new or used hardware.

It was a pain to get out. But going slow with a big pair of Visegrips did the trick.

Broke this torx bolt off removing the oil pan. This bolt gets the coolant wash when the water pump goes. it's an open hole on the top so the coolant sets up as a kind of thread locker after so many heat cycles.

Lower oil pan off, NO METAL SHAVINGs, BUT, there was some rtv sealant particles on the oil pump pick up screen, I carefully cleaned them off. my fault for using a dab of rtv to seal the oil drain bolt. Other than that the pan was all clean.

I've used this twice before with great results. With an E throttle it's impossible to do this with one person so, I just run 6 ft of vacuum line from its nozzle to the boost bypass vacuum port, allowing me to spray the can and keep the cars rpm at 2500.

The AJ133SC super charger, the bypass valve is that gold circle, any time it's open you bleed off boost.

I bought the Mina intake so my Twin Cities Perf intake is for sale $175 shipped. I got the first version with the spliced in vacuum line, then purchased the updated welded in bung 7 mo later.

It's like $50 from Jag, be sure and replace that hose coming off it too.

Use the 2 alignment holes on either side and a screw driver to align the trans cross member evenly between them, once its aligned tighten the bolts. That's it.. Driver side here

To get the trans cross member back in, mount it to the trans first then run the 2 front bolts 1/2 way in then by jockeying the jack and cross member you should be able to get the back 2 bolts in. snug them down.

Installed the trans side will show no bolt holder sleeve. The drive shaft side will.

Put the the flex joint in with the arrows pointing at a flange, IMPORTANT the Trans flange is machined to receive the barrel of the bolt holder, so put all the bolts in but snug the trans flange bolts first so the all show this much of the bolt holder, then tighten the trans flange bolts and no bolt holder should show, then tighten the driveshaft flange bolts.
