Can a Dana Type 44 slip differential fit in a Jaguar?
The gears for the DANA Type 44 limited slip differential will fit in the Jaguar unit. This includes gears from many larger American cars and small trucks. However, there are problems that must be overcome.
How do you ID a Jaguar rear end?
Simply jack up the rear, block one wheel from turning, put a mark on the driveshaft and a mark on the free turning wheel. Engine off, car in neutral, count the turns of the driveshaft it takes to make one exact turn of the wheel. Done. I’m trying to ID a Jag IRS. Where did you get your spec table?
What kind of differential does a Jaguar XJ use?
All XJ-S differentials are limited slip, and all the systems operate using essentially the same principle (a series of friction discs, with the compressive load increasing through increased drive torque) although the feature has often been given different names. The gears for the DANA Type 44 limited slip differential will fit in the Jaguar unit.
What happens to the width of a JAG IRS?
The width changes drastically when they are removed from the vehicle and they are quite difficult to measure while in the car. A removed Jag IRS will be about an inch shorter, so allow your measurements to have a little wiggle room when you are identifying. Another thing to note..
How big is the rear end of a JAG?
Beginning taking apart the Jag rear end. 73 inches outside to outside, 51-3/4 inches inside (tire measurements). 67-1/2 inches inside the wheelwells. Gotta pull it all apart to get things new. Check out that left side brake pad. Compare it to the one on the right…. the dang caliper piston has NEVER moved since it was built/rebuilt.

Where are the pivot seals on a JAG?
Sixth and seventh row are the inner pivot seals for lower control arms (LCA) there are eight of them, four on each control arm, with inner and outer steel rings holding a rubber, ridged seal in place, with the big “fender washers” on the outside of each mount. Castle nuts, brass ring, and washers below are for axle stub shaft mounting.
Where are the shocks located on a JAG?
It’s necessary to disconnect the shocks to allow the axle to drop down far enough to remove them. That’s why there is an removable (Zeus fasteners) panel in the trunk, so that a lot of the rear end parts can be accessed from inside the trunk. See page 2 of “The Interior” about 3/4 of the way down for pictures and assembly of the cover plate.
