Description:

1960 Jaguar Other

Up for bid is an authentic original factor issue vintage excellent used overdrive gearbox assemply as shown. Marked numbers are JLS41492CR, which according to the jaguar archives is correct fitment to the Jaguar XK 150S sports cars. The suffix letters "CR" indicate that it is a close ratio transmission. Complete with the Laycock DeNormanville overdrive unit. Cannot have been more tha a handful of these made. The gears look perfect. I have checked every tooth in every gear that I can get to and there is no wear, chips, or other damage. The gears on the layshaft were also inspected and they also look perfect from what I cold see. There is no wear evident anywhere and everything is very tight with no slop. Everything rotates from the input shaft through to the output /drive shaft and nothing is frozen. Oil was full and it was recently drained for shipping and handling. The overdrive assembly has been inspected as well as it can be without putting itin a car and testing it and for that reason alone I cannot guarantee anything about it. The only part missing is the overdrive solenoid.Having said this, I haveno reason to believe there is anything wrong with it. The transmission has been in dry storage for many years and was removed from a salvaged car further back than I can remember.This is an excellent period survivor.

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THE SHIPPING AND CRATING WILL BE. I WILL HAVE IT CRATED BY AND SHIPPED BY AN INDEPENDENT SHIPPING COMPANY AND THE WINNING BIDDER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING THE SHIPPING COST. I HAVE NO WAY TO PERSONNALY SHIP HEAVY ITEMS. YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE SOMEONE PICK UP THE TRANSMISSION SO LONG AS IT IS PAID FOR IN ADVANCE, OR I WILL BE HAPPY TO MEET YOU OR SOMEONE WITHIN A 150 MILE RADIUS OF KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE FOR A FEE OF $50.00.
