Can you Adjust the Gearbox Modulator? XJS V12
Could you tell me if its possible or even desirable to adjust the Gearbox Modulator (unless you have to buy a Special one?)
So that you can have the Gearbox hold back longer before it changes gear, to enable faster acceleration.
Or is it best to keep with the Factory Setup and just drop down a gear with the stick when you need to.

Original Modulater = NO.
Replacement Compact adjustable - Yes.
I run the latter, and I like it. Some fiddling to get it where I wanted it, but tahts life.
I DO NOT run the electric kickdown, and the reasons are many, mostly coz I cannot get full throttle with the half leg, works for me.
Hence the adjustable Compact Modulator set to down change quicker, and hold just ever so slight for increased upshifts, BUT, I also modified the Governor, being the fiddler that I am.

You screw it clockwise to firm up the shifts and counter clock for opposite. I always run one up clockwise to "snug" then drive and if need be slacken a half turn at a time till I get what I want. AU must have gotten a different one, all the Jaguar ones I've seen are adjustable as well as every t/h 400/350 I've worked on/owned. Mine is the stock unit my XJS came with and its adjustable.
