Range Selection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Jaguar XK8 and 2001 Jaguar XK8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The selector lever is connected to the transmission via a Bowden cable, which operates the transmission selector shaft between all positions except Drive to 4.

The TCM detects the gear selected by means of a rotary position switch fitted to the transmission selector shaft. A separate Drive to 4 switch is located within the "J-gate" assembly.

Movement of the selector lever between Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive manually directs the flow of transmission oil; the TCM having control of the forward gears selected while the lever is in the Drive position.
