Generator
The 120AH generator is fitted with a special casing
to enable it to be bolted directly to the engine via
three fixing points.
On the manual transmission vehicles, sudden
deceleration may result in generator momentum
driving the belt against the engine which is
slowing down, with possible effects on the life of
the drive belt. The generator pulley fitted to the
manual transmission vehicle incorporates a clutch
mechanism which allows it to freewheel in the
reverse drive (anti-clockwise) direction. Note that
a special tool is required to remove the pulley.
To improve generator control on all
engine/transmission variants, the generator now
has a four pin connector to provide two new
sensing signals:
¥ pin S is directly connected to the battery to
provide voltage feedback to the regulator
¥ the regulator senses field current and
produces a PWM signal from pin FR to the
PCM to indicate the generator duty cycle.

Drive Belt Tensioner
The drive belt tensioner is a similar type to that
fitted to the V8 engines. An index on the
tensioned arm rotates with wear against three
markings on the tensioner spring cap which
indicate the minimum and maximum lengths for a
new belt and the point at which the belt must be
replaced.

Knock (KS) Sensors
Two ÔdonutÕ type knock sensors are fitted, in
assymetrical positions. The bank 2 sensor is
located on top of the block near the oil separator
and the bank 1 sensor is fixed on the RH side of
the block above the starter motor.

Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensors
Each inlet camshaft has a four tooth sensor ring
pressed on to the rear end of the camshaft with
the inductive sensor projecting through a hole in
the cylinder head behind and in line with the
sensor ring teeth. The use of a four tooth ring
enables the sensor to provide increased feedback
(position indication of each cylinder).

Transmission Drive Plate
The transmission drive plate is similar to AJ27 but
is fixed with eight bolts to an adaptor plate on the
torque converter (see Transmission sections). The
crankshaft sensor ring is fitted to the engine side
of the drive plate as for the previous V8 engines.

Air Induction System
Charge air is supplied to the cylinders via an air
cleaner, induction tube, throttle body, throttle
body adaptor and induction manifold.
The throttle body and system operation is
identical to that of the V6 engine.
Induction Manifold
(see illustration on page 52)
To accommodate the V8 engine in the S-TYPE
model, the throttle body is re-located and now
supplies charge air via an inlet at the top centre of
the induction manifold. The manifold is
manufactured from a plastic material and has an
integral injector air supply tube on each side with
holes for the fuel injectors, but as on the AJ27
engine, the fuel feed pipes are not incorporated
into the manifold (see Fuel System). Two stub
pipes at the top of the manifold provide vacuum
connections for the vacuum hose and the brake
servo hose.
A polypropylene covered foam noise isolation pad
fits between the manifold assembly and the block.Throttle Adaptor
The throttle body is mounted to the induction
manifold via a cast aluminium adaptor. The
throttle body adaptor provides input ports for the
evaporative emissions (top stub) and part load
breather (lower side stub) and also mounts the air
assisted injection control (AAC) valve. Input and
output ports for the side mounted AAC valve are
an integral part of the adaptor casting (the ports
do not connect to the induction airstream).
Throttle de-icing is achieved by a coolant feed
through the base of the adaptor instead of the
throttle body itself as on the V6 engine (see
cooling section).

Construction and Operation
The transmission housing consists of a one piece
die cast aluminium case with re-inforcement ribs
to minimise noise, vibration, and harshness
(NVH). To allow for the different physical size of
the engines, there are two transmission variants
with different overall lengths and bell housings to
match the respective engines, the V8 variant being
shorter. Different torque converters are necessary
and the V8 variant is also fitted with an adaptorplate to mate the torque converter to the larger
diameter drive plate on the V8 engine.
The main features of the transmission unit are :
¥ torque converter with a twin friction face
lock-up clutch and torsional damper
¥ geartrain consisting of three epicyclic gearsets
¥ shift elements consisting of multi-plate
clutches, brakes and one way clutches
¥ control actuators: four shift solenoids, three
variable force solenoids and a PWM 5R55N AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

63 controlled solenoid are mounted on an
integral, replaceable, control module
¥ three speed sensors mounted on the external
casing: turbine speed sensor, intermediate
speed sensor and output speed sensor
¥ an oil temperature sensor is fitted inside the
transmission.
The gear select lever is connected via a Bowden
cable to an operating lever on the left side of the
transmission casing. A digital rotary switch, the
transmission range switch, fits over the shaft of
the operating lever and is fixed by two bolts to
the transmission casing. Selection of a particular
drive function generates a 4 bit binary coded
signal which is transmitted directly to the PCM
over a four wire parallel interface. As on the XK
and XJ Series, lateral movement of the gear select
lever across the gate, D to 4 or 4 to D, operates a
switch which indicates the selected function to
the PCM (the Bowden cable is not actuated
laterally).
The PCM directly controls the transmission
actuators as a response to driver demand, engine
requirements and according to the selected shift
mode. Gear selection is controlled by commands
to the four shift solenoids. If, during gear
selection, the relative speeds monitored by the
speed sensors are not as expected, the PCM
varies the analogue signal to the variable force
solenoids to increase/decrease the clutch pressure
(closed loop control). Increased engagement times
due to ageing are also controlled by adaptive shiftpressure.
Apart from the sports mode and traction mode
selected by the driver, there are pre-programmed
modes selected by the PCM in response to sensed
driving conditions :
¥ increased load such as gradients and trailer
towing
¥ cruise control
¥ hot mode: strategies including clutch lock up
are applied to reduce heat.
Transmission Oil Cooler
The transmission fluid is cooled externally by a
dedicated oil to air radiator which is mounted in
the integral cooling pack between the engine
radiator and A/C condenser and below the PAS
cooler.

Manual Transmission AJ-V6/AJ28
66With a conventional clutch, increased lining wear
causes the angle of the actuating diaphragm
spring to change as the pressure plate moves
axially towards the engine, requiring a greater
force to operate the clutch (diaphragm actuating
force varies with diaphragm angle). The self
adjusting clutch eliminates the problem by
allowing the diaphragm spring to follow the axial
movement of the pressure plate thus maintaining
the diaphragm spring at the same angle
throughout the life of the clutch. As well as
maintaining a constant pedal pressure, the clamp
force on the pressure plate also remains constant
with wear.
The operation is shown in the diagram. The
diaphragm spring is not fixed at its rotation point
like the conventional system but pivots between a
sensor spring and an adjuster ring. The sensor
spring provides a counter force which is just
sufficient to retain the diaphragm spring axially
against the cover via the adjuster ring and during
normal actuation of the clutch. As the linings
wear, the tendency of the diaphragm angle to
change causes an increase in the actuation force
required to operate the clutch. When this
increased effort exceeds the counter force of the
sensor spring, the diaphragm spring moves axially
towards the pressure plate until the original angle
is restored. At this point the actuation force
required drops to the level of the opposing sensor
spring force, restoring equilibrium with the
diaphragm spring at its new location.
During the axial movement of the diaphragm
spring, the increased distance between the spring
and cover is taken up by the adjuster ring. This
ring has fifteen raised segments, each having a
ramp profile which fits into a corresponding
shape in the clutch cover. When the diaphragm
spring moves axially for wear compensation,
three pre-loaded coil springs in the clutch cover
cause the adjuster ring to rotate, moving up the
ramps and taking up the extra distance between
the diaphragm spring and clutch cover.
Note that, in operation, the adjuster ring rotates
in a clockwise direction, as viewed from the
transmission. If a worn driven plate is replaced in
service and the clutch cover assembly is to be re-
used, the adjuster ring must be rotated back to its
pre-loaded position (see JTIS service instructions).
