XKR Manual Gearbox

[VladD]

Great stuff Norman. I love it when people are mad enough to take on a project like this.

I know I haven't been up-dating for a while but


My car is now fully running with the later manual gearbox in

Looks as if there are no problems flashing up and even have things like the Reverse inhibitor working as well as the reverse lights

Just giving everything a good few hundred mile shake down now.

I also now have the final costings etc

I think I have sent eMails to everyone that has made contact with me in the past, but if there is anyone else that would like a manual gearbox in there XK8/Rs of XJV8s then do send me an email and I'll get back to you

Had a couple of issues, NOT gearbox related

One was a fuel pump went down, now have larger pumps fitted, then had a bad earth, now sorted

I'm at Brand Hatch tomorrow Friday for demmo runs and to enjoy myself with the gearbox

Had the gear lever gaiter made, looks neat, picture below

I've put a Corvette trans/axle in my X150 race car using the TR6060.
I fitted it in the rear subframe and had new driveshafts made to link the hubs to the diff.

Would not recommend this option to anyone as you also need to widen and raise the tunnel to accommodate.

It still then would not mate its torque tube to the Jag V8 so i used the LS engine

Sometimes it's useful to know which route not to go. I just like a chalange.
