*sigh* I am looking at about $3k to change mine to a manual........Manual 850's are in about 1% of the cars here, so the parts are really rare.

Damn Volvo and their "no cost auto" LOL

I completely agree with you and thought I would never see one. In the past year I have seen four come through our local wrecking yard. You just need to keep your eyes open and be ready to strike.

do you have to re-do the brake lines? and also how did you get the clutch through to the drivers side? punch-out your own hole?

The clutch line comes through a factory block plate you remove. Nothing is done to the brakes. Keep in mind these bodies are set up to be manual or automatic so you just need the parts.
