My volvo buddy just returned from overseas and wants to remove the automatic tranny on his 91 245 and swap in a stick shift manual tranny. We will go to the local YouPUllit where I have seen a late model 240 with a manual shift.
What do we have to obtain beside the tranny, overdrive unit and the driveshaft, plus the pedals from inside the cabin? what about the cruise control gizmos? Anything else we could miss?
Thanks,

Thanks,Guys!! I will post what year the 240 at the Boneyard is, after we see it today.
Perhaps this is a bigger project than we thought. I figured we would remove the manual tranny, etc and then store it in my friend's garage (hoping he has his wife's permission) until summer when we would have time to do the job.

Take the crossmember, too.

I did not post this! Who is using my account/username?

Argh!

I posted the previous message using my username and account. Maybe things got screwed up when changing servers?

You might want to consider the rear end with the stick shift ratio gears.

Hello,

The flywheel tone-ring is the critical piece.

The 91 auto is probably running LH 2.4 EFI which takes a special flywheel (aka. "60 minus 2"). Depending on the year of that 240 in the yard, it is probably running Motronic 3.1 (I think that was the name of the EFI), which is a different system.

Flat LH 2.4 flywheels are like unicorns. You can get ahold of the dog-dish flywheels out of 940s, but I think you need some odd combination of clutch/pressure plate from other models to make it work. It's not a straight bolt-up.

You could take an LH 2.2 flywheel out of a 240 and have it drilled out in the pattern of the 2.4 tone ring. But this may be a bit more of project than you want. Cheers.
