Not to put a downer on it but after that elation came the fitting of all the fiddly bits, which just kept coming. And it seemed I was taking one step forward and two back as I would fit a part only to have to take it back off again to fit another part. My patience was drawn very thin and there were some late nights spent in the garage.
In the end it was all worth it.
Great job you are doing Joe and if you want any advice putting it back together you know we are always here for you.

One question: Where does the bump stop #49 attach to the rear end? Parts manual just shows it off to the side.

Re: Miss Kitty - 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 RHD
Thanks....I guess I better go visit Miss Kitty and see what I have. Looks like it only attaches to the body and does not attached to the rear suspension.....right? Do you attached it then install the rear or visa versa? Man I wish I was there when they removed the engine, front, and rear.
Second question: How does coil spring and retainer attach to the transmission and body as part of the Rear Engine Mount.....parts 89, 90 in the parts manual?
I appreciate the help.

Re: Miss Kitty - 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 RHD
As for 89 and 90 the diagram is not clear in the parts manual for the manual gearbox but if you look at the diagram for the Auto box it shows it more clearly. https://www.jaguarclassicparts.com/cata ... sion/#p=30
Here it shows the long bolt/pin (19) that goes through the bottom of the mount and spring and screws in to the underside of the gearbox. There is a hole on the bottom of the bolt/pin indicated by the small black dot. When you assemble the spring I seem to remember you compressed the spring and held it all in place with a pin through that hole and attached it to the underside of the car but removed the pin once it was bolted down to allow it to slide up and down in the rubber ring. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong here as I am going on my poor memory as I do not have any photos of this installation and it might only be the Auto box which has this bolt/pin.
I cannot do it until Monday but I will be able to get the car up on my ramp and photograph my gearbox mount assembly for you if you wish but it is an Auto box not manual.

Yep....that's it. The first photo looks like mine since I have four bolts to connect to the body. I appreciate you being there. Thanks so much.

Re: Miss Kitty - 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 RHD
the transmission can be raised slightly with adjustable jack to be able to compress spring and rubber bush.
the long pin goes out through the mounting plate and it is temporarilyl caught by a cotter pin and flat washer.
once the mounting plate is tightened, the cotter pin and washer are removed and saved.
I have some service manual instructions if needed
