The easiest donor is the in-house one from it's predecessor - ironically the 260 V6 was available in the UK with a manual box right up until it was replaced by the 760. Someone in VOC converted a mk1 saloon to manual although I don't know who. I remember seeing it at a national rally about 10 years ago. It had an M46 which I'm guessing came complete from a 260. |

I wonder if someone was inclined if you could cut the bell bellhousing off an auto a d get it welded to an M47 if it would work. But then you would need a flywheel from a donor car which would be a V6 260 manual which would have the gearbox anyway! |

Vehicle Details Vehicle make VOLVO Date of first registration November 1982 Year of manufacture 1982 Cylinder capacity 2846 cc CO₂ emissions Not available Fuel type PETROL Euro status Not available Real Driving Emissions (RDE) Not available Export marker No Vehicle status Untaxed Vehicle colour GREEN Vehicle type approval Not available Wheelplan 2 AXLE RIGID BODY Revenue weight Not available Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 24 June 2004 The tax became due (presumably surrendered) on 11/5/2004 and a new logbook was issued ~5-6 weeks later. My guess is it was MoT'd and taxed but the tax was surrendered when it was exported, despite the fact no Export Marker is showing. The advert says it has been in storage for 12 years, that takes us to 2016 if it went straight into storage but i'd guess it was used a little before that. Makes the advert 5 years old at the most on this basis. As for cutting the bellhousing off an M46/47, a bit drastic! eek: I'd suggest having an adaptor plate made to bolt to the backplate on the engine so the bellhousing could bolt to that although i wonder if the backplates are in fact different on the V6 compared to the red block - something i've never looked at before but it's possible that the same bellhousing is used, maybe even the same clutch and flywheel. Grrrrrr poxy internet is playing up again so i can't look up what else the gearbox assembly fits! Poxy rain! Maybe later if things dry up i can have a look although just managed to get a bit more info on the webpage i'm looking at : Part Number: 1208661 Fits 240, 740, 760, 780, 940, 940 SE, 960 That's for the AW71 so it's possible (maybe even likely) that the manual box would be compatible with little or no modifications. More interesting stuff on the torque converter : Part Number: 1239686 Fits 240, 740, 760, 780, 940, 940 SE, 960 The info is from volvopartswebstore and just managed to drag a bit more info kicking and screaming from it : Part Number: 1208730 Volvo 240 1988, 1989, 1990 Volvo 740 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991, 1992 Volvo 740 2.3l Fuel Injected Turbo 1991, 1992 Volvo 760 1985, 1986, 1987 Volvo 940 1991, 1992, 1993 Volvo 940 2.3l Fuel Injected 1991 Volvo 940 2.3l Fuel Injected Turbo 1991, 1992, 1993 Volvo 940 SE 2.3l Fuel Injected Turbo 1991, 1992 Volvo 960 1992 Volvo 960 3.0l 6 cylinder Fuel Injected 1993 Got the list of fitments this time - all for the M47 box! I'll leave it at that, save to say anyone thinking of converting a V6 to manual should do their own research and satisfy themselves of the compatibility before shelling out their hard-won funds! Of course, if you knew someone with a scrap V6 engine, you could try hanging a 940 M47 box on the back of it......................
