who knows volvo?

[Dj Buttchug]

I cannot figure out what trans I need for a five speed swap. What are my options here? I want an m47 5 speed to bolt up to my b230ft. Car is 1991 940se

Ive researched and came up with this:

1: t-5 swap
2: m46 4 speed with electric over drive
3: m47 II 5 speed


turbo bricks is usless... where are the volvo masters? I know there are some here.

What the FUU do i need for a m47 swap. better yet, Where do i even buy one? can i even buy one?

enlighten me please. I want to swap and slam my car.

volvo... lol


tb is usually the best place to find answers for that, to be honest. if it was newer, VS or SS. As I understand, most of the guys stick with the M46. I could be wrong though, I'm a FWD whore. ;) 855 and s70 owner.

t-5 really?
If you go t-5 make sure it's the world class t-5 much stornger and better grearing
than the reg t-5

Or you could spend alittle more and go for the t-56 6psd

good luck :-D

If you're planning any clutch dumps, pay up for the T-5. If you don't abuse it a post 88+ M47 should be fine. The M46 is stronger but also much heavier, older and the OD is possibly worn. I think your 91 should have LH2.4 or higher so make sure you get the correct late style flywheel with the timing windows. Actually check to see if you have a crank sensor. I'm not 100% on that. You're only source for parts is the JY. The vast majority of manuals came in 240s so you'll need to find a 740 for the correct shifter linkage, pedals and front half of the driveshaf. Some people have welded up their own linkage to make it work in the 740/940.
I did an M47 swap on our 89 240 about 5 years ago. I think I spent about $400 on it including a new clutch. GF crashed it 3 months later. Moved on from RWD volvos. And yes TB is useless but its pretty good for search.
good luck
