Hey everyone, I recently acquired a 1991 940 t Sedan as a project car as it was in a accident, pushed in the rear passenger door and quarter above the rear tire. I am in the process of pulling everything out and have plans to possibly make a fun little driver out of it, maybe a daily but that's down the road.
It currently has the AW71 auto trans in it. I am wanting to do the conversion to a manual. I have read quite a bit on here of some doing it with success so I think I want to undertake it.
I have also read that the M46 M47 trans is not that strong of a gear box for handling the power the B230FT is capable of producing. So I am considering going straight in with a T5 or maybe a T9 depending on what I can get my hands on readily here in Ohio.
My question is has anyone done the conversion straight to the T trans?
Do I need to first convert over to the M and then to the T or can I go straight to the T?
I've read of doing to conversions but not right to the T. It is always a AW71 to M47 or a M47 to a T5.
Anyone have some guidance? Maybe a parts list for doing so? An article?
Thanks in advance.
