Re: 1965 S Type 3.8 Propshaft

Thank you John. I have used Jaguar Heaven in the past for a few E Type & S type bits but for this one I bit the bullet and took the car down to a local outfit called Drivetrain Specialties and had them build one. 24 hours and $650 later I had a new propshaft with Spicer joints which solved the v...

Re: 1965 S Type 3.8 Propshaft

thank you for the pics and explanation. So, it would seem my car has some kind of non factory 2 piece propshaft arrangement.

I then sourced a rebuilt 4 speed OD box which I believe to be of the correct type for this car and fitted it as part of a complete mechanical overhaul. The auto ...

Re: Locked up brakes

Hello All, new member here (1965 S Type 3.8 MOD) Saw this post and thought I would chime in with my recent experience of the same issue. After a full mechanical rebuild of the car over several years, and upon first startup I discovered a few small vacuum leaks on valves and diaphragms. Once I had a ...
