Gearbox query

[David1965]

I took my 2002 2.5 auto to a transmission garage today and he said that he hadn't seen a 52 plate s type with the 6 speed auto gearbox before.

He said that it might be some kind of demo car, is he right or did some late 2002 s types have the 6 speed box, mine was registered in November 2002.

[Old Peter]

Hi David,

 

You car is a 52 plate and as it was registered in November 2002 it would be classed as a 2003 model.  The ZF 6 speed gearbox was fitted on the 2003 model.

 

My s type is a 07 plated car and is classed as the 2008 model.

 

My conclusion is that your car was not a demo car but as it was built towards the end of the year was fitted with a ZF auto 6 speed.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

 

PS. Your car has also got some of the 2003 features from looking at your profile photo.

Plus one with Peter, looks like you've got a mk1.5, pre facelift car.

[David1965]

Thanks for the prompt answers, what exactly were the 2003 features fitted that you can see.

Jaguar badge in radiator grille! Not on bonnet.

Centre consol updated

6 speed box of course.

Hi David,

 

I always thought that the very early models had the badge on the bonnet and yours is incorporated in the grill.

 

That was all I could spot from the outside.

 

Peter.

The first S-Types ("X200" 1999–2002) are distinguished by a U-shaped centre console and optional touch-screen navigation system in the 2003 and later models. The traditional leaping jaguar hood ornament was optional even though it is approved by the US and EU standards and breaks away in the case of an accident. Subsequent models ("X202", "X204", "X206"; the last digit denoting the model year) have the Jaguar logo incorporated within the radiator grille and a more traditional 'looped' styling for the centre console. In Australia, the "leaper" bonnet ornament did not become available until 2004

Also added on the 2003 model was an electronic parking-brake paddle-switch that replaced the conventional manually operated lever for the rear brakes. For the 2003 model year, the Jaguar S-type was given a six-speed, automatic ZF 6HP26 transmission as well as a revised 3.0-litre V6 engine with 235 hp (175 kW) (US spec) versus 210 hp (160 kW) for the 1999 to 2002 models. The 2003 model featured a revised dash, centre console, and a grille with the Jaguar badge to give the vehicle a more Jaguar-like appearance, and a flip-open key was devised for the ignition.

A minor facelift on the 2005 model year featured redesigned front and rear aprons, a slightly modified grille, remodeled rear light clusters, an aluminium bonnet, and a new 2.7-litre V6 diesel engine with 207 hp (154 kW). The windscreen washer jets were incorporated into the windscreen wiper arms. There were no changes made to the cabin interior. 2006 to 2008 models featured no fog lights.

Powertrain Edit

The S-Type was powered by a variety of petrol and diesel engines. At launch, the V8 S-Type was powered by the 4.0L Jaguar AJ-V8 engine, the capacity of which was increased to 4.2L in 2002. Variants of this engine are used in Ford, Lincoln, Landrover/Rangerover and Aston Martin models. V6 engines used are the Ford Duratec unit which is used extensively throughout the Ford model range (and in Ford subsidiary companies). The 2.5 L V6 engine was not available for vehicles exported to the United States and Canada. Diesel engines are the Ford/Peugeot 2.7L HDi Ford AJD-V6/PSA DT17 which is used in a number of Ford, Peugeot, Citroen, Jaguar and Landrover models.

From model years 1999 to 2002, the rear-wheel-drive S-Type was equipped with either a five-speed manual or a five-speed J-Gate Ford 5R55N transmission . From 2003, the S-Type was produced with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a six-speed J-Gate transmission that allows automatic gear selection or clutchless manual gear selection. The 2004 diesel saw the introduction of a 6-speed manual transmission; it was also available with the six-speed J-Gate automatic transmission.

Thanks for all the info, the transmission garage rang me today and my gearbox needed topping up with just over 2 litres of gearbox Oil due to a leaky pipe when i bought it.

Only charged me £86 all in so quite pleased.

[Mr Lawrence]

Did they use the correct ATF??

[David1965]

Yes he used proper jaguar Oil or so he told me, however i have no reason to disbelieve him.

I have a s type Reg lo03cev, does it have a 5 or 6 speed gear box. The manual side of the auto shift only has 2-5 gear spots?
