Introduction
Manual Transmission AJ-V6/AJ28
64In Europeon markets only, manual transmission is fitted as standard on the V6 entry S-TYPE model and
as an option on the V6 high specification model. Manual transmission is not available for the V8 variant.
The manual transmission is a 5 speed Getrag 221 unit with the following features:
¥ direct gearing (1:1) on 5th gear (it is normally on 4th) reduces losses
¥ twin synchronising cones on 1st and 2nd gears provide a smoother change
¥ four plane shift gate (R-1-3-5) with Ôknock-overÕ protection on the Reverse position.
A reverse light switch and speed sensor are fitted on the LH side of the gearbox. The speed sensor
monitors output shaft speed to provide an input to the PCM in addition to the signals received from the
road wheel speed sensors.

Gear Selector Control
The gear selector mechanism is designed to give a
smooth positive action. The lever assembly is
mounted via a bracket to the floor, not the
transmission. Further isolation is provided by the
use of low friction bushes and tuned shift
mechanism compliance.
Flywheel and Clutch
The clutch system is based on the established
principle of a single driven plate and diaphragm
spring hydraulically actuated from the clutch pedal
but incorporates the following special features:
¥ dual mass flywheel
¥ self adjusting clutch
¥ concentric slave cylinder.
Flywheel
While the use of a dual mass flywheel is not new
to Jaguar, the model described here incorporates
the latest refinements in the technology. Relative
rotational movement between the primary and
secondary flywheel masses via the damper system
is greater than on previous vehicles, giving further
improvements in torsional vibration isolation
(engine irregularities) and reducing stresses on the
crankshaft and drivetrain. Steel pressings rather
than castings are used to reduce the weight of the
assembly. The flywheel assembly is not a
serviceable item but the bearing can be released
for servicing.
Self Adjusting Clutch
The self adjusting clutch is an innovative feature
which improves operation and driver comfort by
enabling a constant pedal pressure to be applied
as the friction faces wear, unlike conventional
types of clutch which require increasing pressure
with wear. GEARSHIFT CONTROL LINKAGE
