5sp to 6sp upgrade

[dukesdave]

Hi all I'm currently running a 2003 2.0D X-Type with a 5 speed gearbox. I have a 2007 parts car which has the 6 speed box. Is it possible to swap out the 5sp for the 6sp?

I used to  have a mondeo tdci which had the 130 engine and a 6sp box which got me thinking as it's the same engine in theory it should bolt straight on, I'm just wondering if anyone has done it 

Thanks for any help I'm advance.

hi

Its most likely bolt straight on, though the two gearboxes are completely different, problem is getting the new gearbox coded to the existing engine

you would have to ask a jaguar indy and once you swapped it, its not going to drive till its programed to your car, so would have to be trailered to the indy garage for programing

years ago you just swapped and away you went, now everthing is on a can bus type comms and every module talks to each other and are coded to each other

cheers

I still have my tool kit for the old cars  ---  an adjustable spanner and a lump hammer!
