1988 745 Turbo/manual $1100 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be CB on  Thu Dec 17 19:40 CST 2015 [RELATED]

do not know that much about 740's, but what caught my eye was the OD.
In the 240 series, from 87 on the Manual Tranny was the M47 - true 5 Speed and the New Plastic single big headlights.

So I checked the Volvo Owners Manual link and found that indeed the 745 Turbo had indeed came with those dual square headlamps and

Manual transmission: fully synchronized five-speed with electrically operated overdrive

so how come the 240's got the M47 which was then replaced by the M47II, which was to fix the bad points found in the first generation of the M47.

Did they know that the M47 couldn't handle it and so stuck with the M46???
