Hopefully someone that has actually done it with a Jaguar 5 Speed on an S Type can comment.

Nice but for £6500 you can get your own original gearbox and overdrive rebuilt and have enough left over to rebuild about three other gearboxes belonging to members on here. Not that I need it but I would still stand in line for the handout.

Absolutely. I rebuilt my original & OD for a fraction of that.
