Jag IRS Ring/Pinion adjustment

Hi folks. I have a late XKE/XJ IRS that someone replaced the pinion gears on. Put it under the car and could hear a noise like either flat spots on bearings or too much play between ring and pinion. Any suggestions for a repair shop in the Tampa Bay area? Thanks for any help.

Pull the pumpkin out and ship it to Coventry West. Coventry West rebuilt Jaguar Differentials

The JAG rear end is probably a Dana 44 which should make finding a mechanic much easier. It's not rocket science but should be taken care of by someone with adequate skill and experience.

Go to Coventry West. I had a local place with a very good reputation install my gears and LSD. What a mess! To say they screwed it up would be an understatement.

Spend the money and send it to the people that will do it right.
