XJR diffs

[dan5oclocksmith]

Nothing came up in the search so...

Does the X300 have a LSD?

If so, can it be fitted to an X308, and is it the same ratio?

[jas xjr]

Pretty sure the x308 does not have one as it has traction control.

Not stalking you but where are you in herts?

I know for certain the X308 doesn't have one. That's why I'd like to know if the X300 does.

[NormanD]

No they don't have a LSD

You can get one fitted by TLJaguar post code RG40 4TS
Phone Tom on 0118 976 2899


He fits a verry good LSD, I have one on my XKR, same diff unit

It make a hell of a lot of differance getting the power to the road
Even inproved the handling in my opinion

[dan5oclocksmith]

Interesting. I read a post on another forum from someone who was adamant that he'd fitted an X300 LSD to his X308. Odd.

[jas xjr]

Just had a quick google it appears that at least some x300's did have them

Hamlins, no?

Carnival with Pentas here. Don't think I've seen yours but have spotted a black or Sapphire one near the Total garage quite often.

[jas xjr]

Yes , Hamlins . Mine looks just like the one by total but different wheels. There used to be a pale gold one with a modified exhaust and tints but I have not seen it for a while

Good! Sounds nasty!

Who looks after yours?

[jas xjr]

Autobase in Northchurch and a garage in Stoke where I live

[Straight6DOHC]

The x300 xjr does have an LSD (of the Salisbury type). It also has traction control.

my 95 x300 xjr6 had a standard 'orange and black' diff, which i was told was a LSD. I swear there have been loads of posts on here about someone developing an LSD for the X308 and XKR, along with the manual gearbox. Looks line NormanD is quoting the required contact details

Yes that is me.

Two things that were not available for the XKR, as well as the V8 XJR, was a LSD and a Manual Gearbox

I arranged that a LSD was made for the car, that can now be fitted by TLJaguar, I'm not part of the company.
This is a better LSD than was fitted to early Jagaurs


The other item, it's been a long time comming, is to be able to have a Manual Gearbox

The Black box is now available, so I'm in the last thows of having veriouse parts made to be able to fit the gearbox
Like the flywheel, bell housing, peddle box etc
The gearbox I'm using will be strong enough to take the power, even for highly tuned engines and have the correct ratios.

This complete kit will be available I hope in the next couple of months

If anyone is interested than do throw me an eMail

IIRC all X300s had an LSD. Easy enough to find out.

Jack both rear wheels clear of the ground and release the handbrake.
Turn one wheel and watch the other. If the opposite one rotates in the same direction - ie: both would be driving the car forwards or backwards then you have an LSD. If not, and the observed wheel wheel rotates in the opposite direction to the turned one then you don't.

[Straight6DOHC]

Not all x300 had LSD. All XJR6 did in UK at least.

[Marquis Rex]

The XJ40 and straight 6 X300 had the 15 HU diff while the X308 uses the 14 HU diff
