I'm sure it could...but the rebuild costs a couple grand more than the 
replacement Jag I found in great shape. Don't get me wrong..I've been 
very happy with my Jags..maintain them well..and aside from the one 
major tranny problem..they've been very reliable and continue to run 
well! My advice to anyone looking for an
older XJ6 would be to stick to '90 or newer...after they got rid of the 
Lucas electrical.
