what are the differences between the 960 and s90? also have any of you heard of placing a manual tranny in either? I love these cars but have sworn off autos, out of personal preference (as opposed to quality issues). Alternatively, will a 740t manual tranny mate with a 940t motor?

    Difference between the 95-97 960 and the S90 is minimal such as emblems and some minor interior trim differences. As far as a manual goes you would have to head to Europe for the manual conversion parts. The Euro spec cars came with a M90 transmission. That is euro only. Here is a Volvo site that lists the performance for both the auto and manual as well as the 181hp unit and the 204 hp unit. The manual 181 HP car is actually faster than the 204 hp automatic only car.
