Introduction
The 5R55N type 5-speed automatic transmission is fitted to both the V6 and V8 engines. The
transmission is controlled electronically by the powertrain control module (PCM) without the use of a
dedicated control module. Normal P, R, N, D drive functions plus manual selection of 4th, 3th and 2nd
gears are provided by a Jaguar style ÔJÕ gate (not the same as XJ and XK Series - see ÔS-TYPE IntroductionÕ
Techical Guide). Sports mode and traction assistance are selected at the ÔJÕ gate.

63 controlled solenoid are mounted on an
integral, replaceable, control module
¥ three speed sensors mounted on the external
casing: turbine speed sensor, intermediate
speed sensor and output speed sensor
¥ an oil temperature sensor is fitted inside the
transmission.
The gear select lever is connected via a Bowden
cable to an operating lever on the left side of the
transmission casing. A digital rotary switch, the
transmission range switch, fits over the shaft of
the operating lever and is fixed by two bolts to
the transmission casing. Selection of a particular
drive function generates a 4 bit binary coded
signal which is transmitted directly to the PCM
over a four wire parallel interface. As on the XK
and XJ Series, lateral movement of the gear select
lever across the gate, D to 4 or 4 to D, operates a
switch which indicates the selected function to
the PCM (the Bowden cable is not actuated
laterally).
The PCM directly controls the transmission
actuators as a response to driver demand, engine
requirements and according to the selected shift
mode. Gear selection is controlled by commands
to the four shift solenoids. If, during gear
selection, the relative speeds monitored by the
speed sensors are not as expected, the PCM
varies the analogue signal to the variable force
solenoids to increase/decrease the clutch pressure
(closed loop control). Increased engagement times
due to ageing are also controlled by adaptive shiftpressure.
Apart from the sports mode and traction mode
selected by the driver, there are pre-programmed
modes selected by the PCM in response to sensed
driving conditions :
¥ increased load such as gradients and trailer
towing
¥ cruise control
¥ hot mode: strategies including clutch lock up
are applied to reduce heat.
Transmission Oil Cooler
The transmission fluid is cooled externally by a
dedicated oil to air radiator which is mounted in
the integral cooling pack between the engine
radiator and A/C condenser and below the PAS
cooler.

Clutch Pedal Assembly
The clutch pedal is mounted on a combined
assembly with the brake pedal. The clutch master
cylinder is directly actuated by the pedal and
shares a common reservoir with the brake system.
An assistor spring is fitted to the clutch pedal to
reduce the actuation load.
Operation of the pedal when in cruise control
mode activates a switch which cancels this mode.
