I have a 1985 jaguar xj6 low, second and drive all work fine, when I put it in reverse you can hear the motor rpms change but car will not move in reverse. Also the speedometer works sometime and tach not at all not sure if that would cuase or create some of the problem with the transmission. Please help. any advice would be greatly apprecieated.

If you remove any gear that is coupling it to the motor you should be able to slide it back to where you want. I would put gear back just to hold it in place and keep it from moving. But you do have to replace that gearbox for future operation.

The starter is on the left side of the engine, near the firewall, kind of below the battery. You can follow the positive side of the battery cable to the starter.

The sunroof motor is accessable from the trunk. A winder handle for emergency use was provided when the car was new but you can use another tool to do the job. Take off the rear bulkhead panel and the motor will be visable and you will see the shaft to turn the sunroof manually. Good luck!

i need a diagram of a series 11 xj6 jaguar door i.e. the position of the electric window into the door as i cant line the bolts and frame up. need to see a picture of it. thanks

yes you can do it might be tough but it can be done

Ok, Try the maf sensor.

you need a new trans. go get one from the junk yard. just tell them what hind of car you have

It sounds like a change over valve is faulty. U have 2 check over valves 1 on each side of rear wheel wells. Also a change over valve that switches 1 tank to other. I recomend replacing all 3 valves for peace of mind,because when 1 goes the others follow. Hope this is helpful!

the linkage is just a slight bit off, it parks between gears when you shift into the slots. Disassemble the shifter from the center console, and slowly move just the cable its self between the positions and see if you have forword gears. When you find and sync the gears, then tighten the cable to the shifter so the positions match the notches in the shifter.

have the transmission cable checked. mine had broke, i had it repaired and now it drives fine
