Re: Gearbox help

Chris Where did I say you were wrong? Actually I would generally agree with the logic of mark 10 gearboxes having different gear ratios to an e type box And also logical that a different model would have different serial numbers on the box Especially if it had different gear ratios But as above ther...

Re: Gearbox help

Steve
The early mark 10 had a moss box with overdrive
This was changed to the all synchro when the 4.2 engine came out alongside the E type

Re: Gearbox help

Stuart I would guess along with the E type the 3.8 engine mark x cars also had EJ boxes Information is scarce on this and I only found 3 references to Mark x boxes having EJ boxes fitted And none of them official jaguar I think its just the early mark x cars that may have got them but I can only go ...

Re: Gearbox help

Chris
I went into some detail looking at numbers for gearboxes and my research came up with mark X indeed having EJ gearboxes
Are you confusing the later 420G?
The EJ was used in the 4.2 Mk10, whereas the JZN and KZN were used
in the later 420G cars, when delivered with a manual gearboxes

Re: Servo not working

Why are people taking things apart and fitting seal kits these days? Unless its for some originality reason on a car that goes to shows to be judged (and tbh I think safety over originality should come first) I just don't get it Thats something we used to do when we had no choice and certainly not o...

Re: Servo not working

If you have replaced the master cylinder and the complete servo and its attached slave master cylinder with new ones and you have vacume it should work This assumes all the rest of the pipework is clear and free of any muck And is attached correctly And there are no other issues in the braking syste...

Re: Gearbox help

If its EJ then it could be a MK 10 or an E-type
You would have to look at the other numbers to find out which

Re: heater fan switch

Both at the same time is normal as far as I know on fast speed
My series 2 switch feeds both on fast
But one goes through a resistor so it just goes fast
Its seems strange but thats how mine is
