Hi Nick & Pam MItchell – Nick & Pam, after watching your voluminous
e-mails on the saloons list, I’ve FINALLY pulled out my original copy of
the Service Manual for the Jaguar Automatic Transmission (Produced by the
Borg Warner Corporation, Publication No. E/113/5. I strongly suspect your
Mark 2 was despatched from Browns Lane with the Borg Warner Model DG 250
(which my copy deals with extensively in its 168 pages).
On pp/29 -30, this manual deals specifically with the oil transfer tube, on
the front end of the transmission mainshaft. – TRANSMISSION UNIT - REMOVAL
AND INSTALLATION 10. Remove the transmission by sliding assembly
rearwards until the mainshaft is clear of the converter. Remove the oil
transfer tube from the end of the mainshaft. If the oil transfer tube is
not withdrawn with the mainshaft it will be necessary to remove the tube
from the center of the converter with a pair of long-nosed pliers, as shown
in Fig. 52. (Fig. 52)
Installation: (d) Remove the fixture carefully to prevent moving the
splines out of alignment. Install the mainshaft oil transfer tube (see
Fig. 54). (Fig. 54)
On pp/S38 and S39, the oil transfer tube is shown as part # 8 in the
Mainshaft Assembly.
From what you’ve written to date, I strongly suspect that your repair shop
either did NOT install the oil transfer tube, or somehow got it in
backward! I don’t know where you are. However, I have permission from
Jaguar Cars LTD and John Maries of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust,
jmaries@compuserve.com, to photocopy my original manuals (including
Publication No. E/113/5) to help fellow Jag-Lovers worldwide. If you’d
like a copy of this large manual, snailmail me a check for #35.00 USD
(payable to my USA bank), or send along $35.00 USD in green stuff (cash) to
cover me for the copying and snailmailing the book to you. Also – include
your mailing (or snailmail) address.
I’m following saloons manager Alastair Lauener’s policy (list policy
dictates that messages be trimmed), and am also sending it direct to you at
musnick@erinet.com, so I (at least) can be sure you’ve gotten it. FYI –
Publication No. E.113.5 covers ALL early Borg Warner automatic
transmissions, from the first Mark VII in March 1953 through the DG 250
(which was despatched with my original late 1959 Mark IX, RHETT, 792817
BW), and continued through the Mark 2, but was changed with the 4.2 Mark X
and the June 1965 Mark 2 to the Model 8 (which is NOT covered by this
book). I hope this helps – Larry Martz*****
I thoroughly enjoyed your note…snip
