Ya. Alloy. I understand wood is a hallmark touch in a jag....but it needs to go. From the era where it was horribly done anyhow. Along with that the cd player needs to be traded for a gauge pod, or bs flip up data screen... i prefer oil, temp, volts... something pre-cartablet. Its got a standalone.... and a flip screeb is more "bond"... so wharever. That cd deck is a hackjob

I rescued a prototype Jaguar V8 engine and manual box from a scrapyard not long ago. Well, I left the engine there. The gearbox was a Getrag 265 five speed as used in the 3.6 XJS and XJ40. Jaguar engineers used a custom flywheel and a standard 3.6 clutch with an engine to gearbox adaptor plate plus a trigger ring for the TDC sensor. It had been a test bed unit and was never fitted to a car. I couldn’t get any interest from Jaguar Heritage at all. I sold the gearbox to a guy converting an E Type to five speed and the rest of the bits went to a Jag specialist. I bet that was the only one to escape being scrapped.

You got to lose 2 points on exterior for tailpipes alone if they aren't matching. On the positive, it means it should be a quick 2 points reclaimed. Window trim etc take you barely any time and you've already got an 8 or 9 so do it and suddenly your score is very decent. Definitely sort that dash/cente console out...

I have both a 98 XK8 and a 01 XKR coupe. The XK8 had a manual swap like this almost 10 years ago. I have about 140,000 miles on it now. XKR is a black coupe right at 100k. I thought i could get down to one but I just cant. MAYBE a manual XKR would do it but I really love the drive of both cars. Both are lowered on Mina springs. Worth the cost of the swap? Definitely but while the XK8 manual performs much as the XKR it is a bit slow off the line. At speed they feel the same.
