A member here spotted a new Rotarty Shifter for our cars in the 2012 accessories catalog and I felt it to be a must have. It was a super fast swap and adds a great feel and look. My local dealer robbed me blind for it $159 but I hear Mina Gallery has the same one to offer us and you can get an optional Mina logo or R logo for a topper. I also think it may be a tad cheaper from Mina and it is indeed the same part # and all, just with that Mina special touch to it. Here is a few pix I took so you can see how simple it was and how nice it looks.

Looks like there are two sets of parts involved. Found shifter knob and cover piece at online Jag dealer parts supply. Maybe one of our sponsors can meet or beat?

I just gave Chris from Mina a call alittle while ago, Great Guy, BTW. He's always willing to answer your questions. Anyway, He said the shifter knob isn't ready yet, but should be ready in a week or two. You will be able to purchase several different options for the top instead of leather as mention before. One option will be the Growler which I think would match the steering wheel emblem very well. Price will be (TBA) but will be less then what the dealer wants for just the leather cover one. The material will also be of better grade both in texture and feel then our present OEM one. Hopeful he will remember to drop me a email and I'll put the sale info out or you can just drop him a call.

^ Dont worry about that. No matter what the topper is is smaller than the shifter knob and can not interfere with the selector in anyway. Think of it as a slightly smaller rounddisc that is a sticker you stick on. The stock one and my leather one are the same. So its the same as the OEM design in every way.
Jaguny: What tool did you use to pry off the OEM cap on the rotary shift? I used a razor blade to get under and lift up the origanl topper which is just chrome painted plastic sticker. It was tight but I was careful so I can reuse it again.
This was an easy install ,I only used a washer cause I felt it needed 1 to be snug.

I am pretty sure the selector rotates even when the car selects P for you. The turning of the knob itself is just decorative. It could as easily rise without turning if Jaguar had designed it that way. There is a motor and drive cable that spins it up and down as the selector itself operates.
