clutch fork travel 120-130

Technically, Volvo never made an M400 for the 1800E, only an M410 which has the overdrive.

The 164 Volvos could be equipped with either an M400 or an M410 manual transmission.

And the parts for the clutch actuation are different based on which bellhousing is being used, either for a 4 cylinder or for the 6 cylinder.

The 4 cylinder M410 bellhousing uses the same release fork as all of the 122, 1800, 140 and 240 Volvos with 4 cylinder engines that use a cable operated clutch.

While the 6 cylinder bellhousing uses a lever with a shaft with fork that goes inside the bellhousing like an air cooled VW to move the release bearing.

FYI, it is possible to make an M400 fit a 4 cylinder by transferring parts from an M410 transmission for a 4 cylinder. In fact, we built 1 ourselves for our B20 powered Mini Pro Stock race car we used to field.

We only raced circle tracks and the race car had a quick change rear end so we adjust our final drive for different types and lengths of race tracks, so we didn't need a 5th gear.
