Default auto to manual tranny swap

hey

i was wondering where i can get a manual or something or a how-to article on how to swap an s70's tranny from auto to manual. not a t5, its a 1996 too. where can i get a used one for good price? i can do it myself, i swapped a tranny for a 300zx tt once, so i know i need pressu plates, clutch, and all that crap. i just need to know where i can get all this for under 2k maybe??

1. Where are you located? Because s70's weren't made in 1996 in the USA.

2. Try local junk yards. This is going to be your best bet. You should also try Erie Vo Vo they might have something for you possibly.

Your best best is to find a wrecked donor car. I guess the question is whether or not one from an 850 would work which would really increase your likelyhood of finding one. I don't know the answer to that. If you go onto volvospeed.com you can find step by step instructions on how to do it for a Turbo 850.
