Default Same tranny?
I know the 98-2003 XJRs have that Mercedes 5 spd automatic that they also used which had some hit or miss major issues as Ive seen from different sources. Did they use that same tranny in the 95-97 XJRs?? Or is it similar to the trannys from Xj40s? Just a though that popped into my mind today...lol

So what kind of trans does the X300 XJR use? Is it also a ZF until? I remember the XJ40's used a GM trans did they not?

They did not. The only Jag to use a GM trans was the XJS 5.3's. The others are ZF and Adwest.

Hi Ken-

Is it that the ZF trans is a 4L80E with a different pan and bell housing? I thoughtI had read that the X300'shad used a 4L80E or a variant of.

Thanks for the reply

I don't know for sure. Will see if I can find out tomorrow. I just have them listed as 95-97 transmissions. We sell used ones for $400. The damn things never fail. We have 18 of them.

The X300 XJR/v12 use GM 4L80E, as does the XJ40 v12 (=XJ81). It is a great unit, realible and strong. The later v8-XJR use a Benz gearbox, the same as in the MB 600-serier. Not the best of boxes.

And the 6.0 Litre XJSs used the 4L80E as well. Earlier V12s used the old "TH400"

Cheers
