There were two different gearboxes offered
by Jaguar for the E-Type. The early 3.8L
cars were equipped with a Moss 4-speed.
The Moss boxes did not have a 1st gear syncho
and are affectionately referred to as "crash
boxes".
For 1965, Jaguar began installing a full-synchro
gearbox along with a larger 4.2L engine
in the E-Type.
Both transmission types are very tough
units, and can usually be rebuilt to perform
as new (or better). Terry has rebuilt hundreds
of Jaguar gearboxes over the years and knows
exactly what to look for (and how to fix
it) when tearing one down.
