Just wanted to drop by and let you know that I greatly appreciate that you've been documenting and narrating this project for your small esoteric audience :)
I am very grateful for this channel and its content. I have a manual transmission F type, so this is a great channel for me. Please keep making more videos.
Great to hear! I will soon release two videos on rear differential upgrades, as well as a light weight flywheel kit. Do you ever get to the track or AutoX?
I've recently been toying with idea of getting a F-Type manual an have been trying to do as much research as I can. I found the post on the Jag forum where you started this clutch journey approximately two years ago. I want to commend you and also thank you for undertaking such a project. Seeing this level of dedication makes me more at ease with possibly becoming an F-Type owner. If it happens, i plan on it being a forever car as I'm not too fond of the direction cars have been heading. I like the fact that the F-Type doesn't seem too overly tech'd out and can be had with a manual and decent power. Now i just need to really convince myself to get one over LS swapping my '91 300zx. Although I really wish I could do both. Anyways, sorry for the long winded post, I'm off to watch more of your videos and peruse the forum some more.
I can totally understand your interest in the F-Type Manual. It represents the final chapter of an iconic formula; powerful engine up front, gearbox in the middle, and rear wheel drive out the back. And of course is doesn't hurt that it is styled beautifully, outfitted with leather and has an amazing sound track. Your V8 conversion of the 300zx is also a fun project, but on a bit of a different level. The F-Type Manual has more reliance on electronics than the old zx, and it has less support from the aftermarket, so one has to plan ahead carefully when doing projects on the F-Type. Good of you to read up on the Jaguar Forums, and I appreciate your support on the YT videos.
Hi, thank you in advance for the videos you have done so far. I saw that you order a LSD from quaife (jaguar forum), it will be available soon online? or is just a custom order for a certain amount of people? is also compatible with the XE S?
You are welcome. Yes I commissioned a helical ATB from Quaife UK to fit the modern Jaguar rear differentials. I am developing an application chart that covers many models, including XE, XF, F-Pace, F-Type. I have made the ATB extensible to several gear ratios with the use of spacers, new bolts, etc.. So read through the Jaguar Forums thread carefully, the information is buried in that thread, see Post #104 in "V6 Base LSD Swap"
Do you have links or part Number for the Single Mass Flywheel and Clutch Plate? Thank you for the great video. BRG is the best color btw, I just picked up a 2016 manual last summer.
CR, yes, I am developing a “conversion kit” for those wanting to move away from the V6 Manual’s dual mass flywheel system. This would include Lightweight Aluminium Flywheel, Bolts, Clutch, and T/O Bearing. I am beta-testing the kit with two enthusiasts right now. You can e-mail me to get more info. OncaEngineering at gmail dot com. Great to hear you picked up a 2016 Manual. Lets keep them running their best.

We just did a clutch on my 1940's Ford tractor and the principles are all the same!
A Ford 9N? Gotta love physics and basic principles.
