Hello fellow x-Type enthusiasts, I am beginning my project of replacing my failed automatic transmission with a manual 5-speed from an identical X-Type 3.0L sport sedan I luckily found at a salvage yard just 2 miles from my home. The prospect of making the switch was above and beyond the negative responces from the local Jaguar dealership who said it cannot be done. I beg to differ. I have the complete wiring harnesses, and the necessary components to make the switch possible. I hope. If anyone is interested in this endeaver, I will be posting my progress as I work on it.I am open to any and all ideas, suggestions etc. etc. Stay tuned.........
