		6 Cylinder, Short wheelbase 3.8/4.2			V12 E-Type
		Our 6 Cylinder 5 speed gearbox is very compact with a short extension that houses only the output shaft bearing and seal.			The V12 5 speed gearbox comprises of the same carcass as the 6 cylinder 2+2 version but with a mounting point for the supplied clutch slave cylinder machined into the wall of the carcass.
		6 Cylinder, Long wheelbase 3.8/4.2			Original Jaguar Unit
		The 2+2 version of our 6 Cylinder 5 speed gearbox has exactly the same small profile as the 6 short wheelbase version but with an extended tail housing to house the longer mainshaft and oilways.			The original Jaguar 4 speed fitment (shown for comparison purposes) is slightly shorter that our gearbox but has only 4 forward gears. Our gearbox features a small extension to house the 5th gear mechanics.

The ETF 5 speed gearbox is so compact that it requires no modification to sheet metalwork to fit into the any of the E-Type model tunnel. The reverse light switch is conveniently located on the top of the carcass to further reduce width as well as the custom input shaft to allow you to use the original Jaguar clutch and bell housing.

The original unit tends to suffer from excessive mainshaft movement because of the choice of bearing that the manufacturers used their design. The bell housing was used to both seal and pre-load the radial input shaft bearing, the ETF gearbox however, employs a bearing and seal retaining housing that seals the heavy duty taper roller bearings that supports our mainshaft.
