Default XJR Transmission in XJ8?
Hey Guys,
I was curious if a transmission from a 1999 XJR would work in a 2001 XJ8?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You,
Mitchell

The XK/J R used a Mercedes transmission. The XK/J 8 used a ZF transmission. While they may physically connect nothing else will work. Electronics control swapping these days.

Someone would have to reprogram modules or otherwise get into the vehicle software system. Not impossible, but not at all easy.

Thank you for the help. Looks like I'll still have to get my XJ8 tranny rebuilt.

test point,

In case I am confused and just for clarification. A XJR or XKR used a Mercedes tranny. A XJ8 or XK8 used a ZF tranny. Is that correct?
