Thanx, I have found out what the other wire is suposed to go to. There is a
pressure switch on the rear of the transmission that goes to the solonoid
under the throttle pedstal. It is suposed to cause a slight up shift
between 30 and 40 mph. It has something to do with emissions. On my
transmission, the hole for the switch is blanked off with a bolt. I don’t
know if I am going to get the switch or not. Hmm… Well, I do hav the
transmission out, and it has been rebuilt for $480. Not I am waiting for my
torque converter to be rebuilt so I can put the transmission back in, adjust
the shift points and see how it is suposed to really drive with out any
slipping and a kick down and third gear. The person that rebuilt found a
lot of black gunk in the oil pan and a valve was stuck. I am also waiting
on brake pads, a few ball joints, and the ac evaporator. How ever, I lost
the two pieces of trim under the rear windows. I took them out so the body
shop could put the weather stripping in, and I don’t know where I put them.
So, while I am waiting fo rthe parts and attempting to find the other parts,
I am fixing little things like holes in the air box that weren’t covered up,
a gas leak at the gas pump (still trying to stop the leak) and a few lose
vacuum hoses.

I crawled under my car and took a look in the Jaguar Parts Catalogue.
A Green wire with a white stripe is connected to the gearbox. The green
wire
with an orange stripe is cut off a few inches short.The book says that the kickdown solenoid switch has a green input wire and
a
green with a white stripe output wire. Guess that figures!Looks like mine is configured the same way as yours!
