740 Transmission Question

240 models: AW70 & AW71 M46 with OD M47 5 speed manual
740 models: AW70 & AW71 M46 with OD M47 5 speed manual
Both models were produced with other transmissions but the above transmissions will work with minimal if any extra mods...
example: if yours is an automatic...you can slap on a manual but will need drive shaft and trans cross member support etc...and/or the trans Bell housing from your model...just take off yours and slap it on the donor.....AUTOMATIC TO AUTOMATIC IS THE SIMPLEST...OR manual to manual...
Take note of your transmission, cross member, bell housing, cables and compare them to the donor...
It is not hard to take off but I have struggled with the very top two bolts on the bell housing since I don't own an impact gun...you need a freaking long extension and an air or battery power impact gun to undo those two bolts..the rest is pretty easy...you can support the transmission with a good jack and place a piece of wood behind the cyl head because as you slide off the trans, your engine tilts towards the firewall...

if its a 4-speed with the overdrive switch, then its probably an M46, if its a straight 5-speed, its an M47. The M46 are supposed to be stronger. an m46 is an m46, but the bell housings might differ a little between the versions. switching from an m46+OD to a M47 might require a different length drive shaft, and for sure would require the different stickshift linkage of the M47.
