1999 JAGUAR S TYPE manual transmission

IntroductionAJ-V6/AJ28
3 The new S-TYPE sports sedan has an in-line powertrain and rear wheel drive configuration and is
available with either a 3 Litre V6 or a 4 Litre V8 engine, both normally aspirated. The V6 engine,
designated AJ-V6 is new to the Jaguar range and provides expected Jaguar levels of performance with
smooth power delivery, economy and excellent torque characteristics across the engine speed/load
range. The engine is of a lightweight but rigid design with particular attention paid to minimising noise
and vibration. A major innovation is the use of a variable geometry air intake manifold, which is
controlled, via valves, by the engine management system and produces optimised volumetric efficiency
at all engine speeds. Two stage variable valve timing is also fitted and both systems are optimised
together to achieve the wide torque delivery at all engine speeds.
The V8 engine, designated AJ28, is a developement of the now established engine fitted to the
successfull XK Series sports and XJ Series sedan and incorporates the latest modifications fitted to the
AJ27 variant, in particular the continuously variable valve timing system and air assisted fuel injection.
Both the V6 and V8 engines are fitted with a new, common, electronic throttle which does not require a
mechanical cable. Another new feature, also common to both engines, is the use of a returnless fuel
system to reduce the formation of fuel vapour (evaporative emissions).
A new 5-speed automatic transmission is fitted (with slight differences) to both engines. In certain
markets only, an optional 5-speed manual transmission, with new self-adjusting clutch, is available for
the V6 engine only.
Both engines and the automatic transmission are controlled by a completely new powertrain control
system.

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.

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.

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

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).

The clutch diaphragm spring is operated directly

mechanism and improves operating efficiency.

Clutch Pedal Assembly
The clutch pedal is mounted on a combined
assembly with the brake pedal. The clutch master
cylinder is directly actuated by the pedal and
shares a common reservoir with the brake system.
An assistor spring is fitted to the clutch pedal to
reduce the actuation load.
Operation of the pedal when in cruise control
mode activates a switch which cancels this mode.
