So, your car is non-turbo?

 

yes sir non-turbo. any help would be wicked awsome.

 

OK...I'm checking a couple of other forums to see if anyone near you has one.

 

i had seen the m46 you were selling on the turbo bricks... i would love to swap for a manual.... but not in the budget right now ..wife will kill me.. how long do you think it would take to switch it for the average joe??? i had to get some help to do the first swap out... iv also got a guy on ebay with a tottaled 240 and hes saying 125 plus shipping. not bad but im weary of a no see tranny... i dont know what to do....help me!!! thanks swiftJ..!

 

To swap like for like is roughly 5 shop hours of labor. Swapping in a manual is a bit more of a chore. The pedal cage, swapping the front drive shaft, re-enforcing the firewall where the clutch cable passes through, routing the circuit for the electric OD on the M46 (M47 avoids that chore) is tedious more than anything.
When swapping auto's, care needs to be taken w/ the converter so the seal doesn't get FUBAR'd. The cooling lines need to handled w/ care too, but you've already been through that.

 

i had to replace the main seal and the input shaft seals... the lines were blown but the 2 closest JY's they only have two volvos????? what only two ???? i dont think volvo in south carolina is that popular.. wierd becouse i see 2,7,9,and newer all over.. the junk yard says they crush em asap becouse there is not much demand for them.... there a little backwords!!!! imo.. but thanks for looking and thank you for your time. i just got to keep my baby alive, plus my sons love it more then the minivan, they call her the tank becouse they cant open the doors themselves.. swift you the man, do you still got the manual trany? maby wit my tax return ill give it a go...
oh ya i had to braze the lines untill i can scrape some dough together and fork it over to the stealer!!! bummer....!!!
