    Jaguar 4L80e - how different is it from the GM version?

    Yes, Rolls Royce used the TH400 from about 1977 to 92. Jaguar also used the A6 until about then.

    Jaguar 4L80e - how different is it from the GM version?

    Yes, the only version of the 4.2 that did. Uses the V12 version of the 400 with an adapter plate. It had a very restrictive governor too, shifted at 2800 rpm, just as the engine was starting to make power. I changed it from one from a Cadillac and the shifting improved greatly.

    Jaguar 4L80e - how different is it from the GM version?

    I'm taking out the 4.2 XK engine/TH400 combo and putting in the XJR 4L80, so I fortunately don't need to rebuild the TH400.

    Jaguar 4L80e - how different is it from the GM version?

    The mods were the "Andy bracket" which advances the timing about 5 degrees, plus a Powerhouse pully that drives that supercharger 10% faster. I lose top end RPM with that, but gain low end torque. I know I can max out the MAF now between 4000-4500 RPM at full throttle now with the supercharger...

    Jaguar 4L80e - how different is it from the GM version?

    I have a 1995 Jaguar XJR engine (supercharged 6 cylinder) and transmission that I am in the process of transplanting to another vehicle. When I bought the car, the PO had broken the boots to the traction control cable so the throttle cable was binding randomly, causing idle speeds in park...
