Re: M47 ALL

What is the ratio for 5th gear on the M47II?

I have the 4spd M46 in my 245, with electric overdrive. It hits exactly 3000rpm at 80mph in top gear, and that's with the 3.31:1 rear end, arguably Volvo's "tallest" offering.

I think that 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th are the same ratios on both boxes, but apparently the 5th gear ratio is taller than the o/d ratio. Not sure if I'd rather have a self-destructing M47 or an M46 that eats relays and has problems of its own... :-)
