I know there's a lot of threads on here about putting manual transmissions into 700/900. I've read most of them. Just need some more info for my specific situation.
I have a 1993 940 Turbo Wagon. The AW71 crapped out. This is the 1st automatic transmission car I've had in over 25 years. Really want a manual gear box rather than replacing the AW71.
I have found a M47 out of a 1988 245. The ad for the 5 speed transmission says includes "driveshaft, pedals, cable, cross member...pretty much all there to convert your automatic" 240 from auto to manual. Also, has a clutch kit available.
I know the pedals won't fit a 700/900. I also know I have to make sure the pedals I buy are cable pedals. Have found another source for pedals.
I also know that the 1993 B230FT uses LH2.4 injection system & needs the crankshaft position sensor. The 245 the transmission came out of didn't have a crankshaft position sensor.
I don't think the drive shaft from a 245 will work in a 940 Turbo either.
My questions are this:
Will a 1988 M47 work in a 1993 940 Turbo?
How can I tell if 700/900 pedals are cable or hydraulic?
Should I have concerns about the cable transmission vs. looking for a hydraulic set up?
What do I do about the Crankshaft Position Sensor? Can I swap the bell housing from the AW71?
Will the driveshaft work?
Is the M47 shift lever in the right spot to match the 940 AW71 Shift lever position?
What other things should I be concerned about in considering this swap?
Also, how much horsepower or engine mods will the M47 be able to handle? Or should I consider another transmission? Haven't had much luck finding M90.
