Dealerships will try to turn you down because they don't make money on such repairs. JLR pays them book rate at a discounted hourly rate, but these one-off jobs take significantly longer than book. So service manager is motivated to discourage you in any way possible without being caught in a lie.
To fight this:
a. Always ask for any decision in writing. They can verbally tell you black is white, and if you call them out just claim you misunderstood something.
b. Always come prepared - in this case you need to have TSB printed and in hand.
---
c. Be aware that each dealer has flexibility to "goodwill" a number of repairs. They won't do this if you are obnoxious to them.

i don’t know. After only 8000 miles, my Gen 4 clutch is already starting to exhibit the slippage issue between 1st and 2nd. But that may also have something to do with the tune.

My car is going in gear a lot better after installing the short shifter today. It was easy with a lift (and a friends help). Took about two hours and the bolt took most of that time because I had to move the heat shield. The car now shifts like a high dollar sports car should.
Thanks to unhinged and Stuart at VelocityAP for coming up with and getting the short shifter fabricated.

Thank you! Just got a call from the dealership; they said my VIN isn’t covered under the TSB/SSM. But still waiting on the case number to go forward with that.

Doesn’t make any sense to me either. Unless Jaguar replaces it out if good will I think I’ll be footing the bill. This will be my last Jaguar.

Yeah, I hate to start slinging a lot technical jargon here, but that's a load of hooey. If you haven't already, you should read the link to the thread that Luc Lapierre provided earlier in this discussion. When you read that you will also see links to two very detailed discussions related to the compromised nature of the first generation clutch assembly. Those discussions appear to identify that the first gen clutch assemblies were continuing to ship to sometime in September/October 2015 build dates. There appear to be a number of participants on this forum that got JLR to replace their first generation clutch under warranty (and some that got the second gen too). What's the build date of your car?
