Engine Management Sensors
The configuration of the AJ28 engine management sensors is changed from the previous V8 variants:
¥ New components unique to AJ28 engine are the MAF sensor and engine fuel temperature (EFT)
sensor.
¥ Components in common with the V6 engine are the IAT sensor, KS sensors, injector pressure (IP)
sensor, engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor and HO2 sensors.
¥ The crankshaft (CKP) and camshaft (CMP) sensors are the same as those fitted to the AJ27 engine.
Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensors
Upstream and dowmstream HO2 sensors are
fitted and are of the type used on the V6 engine
(the linear type sensor is not used).

Ignition System
The coil-on-plug ignition modules are specific to
the AJ28 engine and are triggered directly from
the PCM. Double electrode platinum plugs are
fitted.

Introduction
The 5R55N type 5-speed automatic transmission is fitted to both the V6 and V8 engines. The
transmission is controlled electronically by the powertrain control module (PCM) without the use of a
dedicated control module. Normal P, R, N, D drive functions plus manual selection of 4th, 3th and 2nd
gears are provided by a Jaguar style ÔJÕ gate (not the same as XJ and XK Series - see ÔS-TYPE IntroductionÕ
Techical Guide). Sports mode and traction assistance are selected at the ÔJÕ gate.
Specification
Transmission weight with fluid: 90 kg (198 lbs)
Oil type: Mercon V semi-synthetic (not compatible with other fluids)
Oil capacity: 9 Litres (9.5 quarts) - new
5 Litres (5.3 quarts) - after draining
Oil Fill/change: Filled for life, no top up required (no dipstick)
Gear ratios: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Rev

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).
