I know there are a few jag nuts on here!

I'm after a manual XJ gearbox (XJ40 or X300 type) plus a 3.2 or 4.0 flywheel and clutch (are they the same, I assume they are??)

Doing a manual conversion on an XJR6 engine.

You get two sorts, in 3.6 XJS's and the later 4.0 both Getrag I believe.

You really want the later one, it has an integral bellhousing and was fitted to the XJR salons as well. make sure you get the prop and flywheel (its a dual mass thing).

I paid £250 for mine, an extra £100 for the prop as they had scrapped the car and left the prop on the shell

They do come up on Ebay occasionally, I waited a few months.

Yea we're looking at later 4.0 (and 3.2) cars not the earlier 2.9 and 3.6's

We missed a complete manual car for £200 the other day....arggh!

Woudl be much cheaper for you to find a full car and strip it.

Might be worth phoning jagbreakers (0161 723 4630) or eurojag (01325 722777). I have dealt with both in the past and have found them both very helpfull.

Yea that's really the plan. Just wondered if anybody on here had already done it then abandoned the plan.......

On the plus side, we won the auction for the XJR6!!! £770 for a good runner, reckon I can get £300 to £400 back on other bits and weigh the rest in for £200............cheap 330hp!!
