I've finally got everything that I need together for my swap. I'm swapping out the automatic transmission in my 1991 245SE and putting in the M47 from my parts car. This is my (hopefully final) list of questions. I'm pretty handy around cars; I've rebuilt engines and done just about any kind of routine maintenance the needs to be done on cars, but this is my first transmission swap. Here goes:

1) My donor car was an LH2.2 car, the current one is LH2.4, so I had to put the correct bellhousing on for the crank sensor. Since I'm changing bellhousings I need the gasket and any seals that go between the bellhousing and the transmission. Will this kit from FCP have everything I need? http://www.fcpgroton.com/product-exec/product_id/17864/nm/1987_1993_Volvo_240_Manual_Transmission_Gasket_Kit/category_id/211

2) Does the surface between the bellhousing and transmission need to be perfect? Can I scotch bright it to clean it up or will that damage the surface too much? Also, does the gasket go no dry, or is there a sealer that I should use here?

3) What is the thin metal ring that goes around the transmission input shaft between the transmission and the bellhousing? Does it go on any special way? Do I need a new one or can I reuse the old one?

4) How do I find TDC on the flywheel?

5) Can I safely reuse the old flywheel & pressure Plate bolts? They looked like they were in fine shape when I removed them.

6) I'll be replacing the clutch disk, can I reuse the pressure plate or should I replace that as well?

7) Are the auto and manual transmission crossmembers different?

8) What kind of grease should I use on the clutch fork pivot and the throwout bearing?

Thanks for all the help!
