Replaces all nine shift and pressure solenoids in the JF506E/09A valve body, pan gasket included, for VW, Jaguar X-Type and Freelander.
A VW Jetta, Golf or GTI with the 09A automatic, a Jaguar X-Type or a Land Rover Freelander that is stuck in limp mode, bangs into second or keeps setting the same solenoid code after a fluid change usually has a tired electrical valve on the JF506E valve body. This set replaces all nine solenoids in one job, N88 through N93 plus N281, N282 and N283, and includes the pan gasket. The solenoids are remanufactured to OE spec. OEM references on the set are D98420, D122990, 98301 and 58703X.
The JF506E is a Jatco five-speed transaxle. VW calls it the 09A. Sonnax's identification chart lines up the VW N-numbers with the Jaguar and Land Rover names:
Because the timing and duty solenoids blend one clutch off while the next comes on, one weak winding shows up as a flare or a hard shift long before it sets a hard fault.
On a VW, the scan tool may report solenoids by number rather than by name. Transmission Digest's ATSG article explains that the 09A numbers its solenoids 1 to 6 and 8 to 10, with no number 7, so a "solenoid 10" fault means N283. Check the harness and connector at the case first, then measure the suspect solenoid. Our guides on bench testing transmission solenoids and solenoid testing without a factory scan tool cover both. If the fluid is burnt and full of friction material, the clutches are worn too, and our JF506E 09A/09B master rebuild kit is the better fix.
This set is for the European JF506E, not the Mazda version, which uses a different solenoid layout:
Check the transmission code stamped on the case and compare connector styles with your old solenoids. If you are not sure, send us your year and VIN before ordering. More parts are in our hard parts section.

No. The Mazda JF506E uses a different solenoid layout and does not interchange with the VW, Jaguar and Land Rover versions this set is built for.
N283, the 2-4 brake duty solenoid. The 09A numbers its solenoids 1 to 6 and 8 to 10 with no number 7, so code 00349 for solenoid 10 points to N283.
They are remanufactured to OE spec, not new castings. All nine positions are covered, and a pan gasket is included.
On a high-mileage 09A, once one winding drifts the others are usually close behind. Changing the whole set while the valve body is out avoids a second teardown.
Often, since a solenoid fault can force limp mode. Check the harness and connector first, read the codes, and measure the solenoid named in the fault before replacing parts.
