#VOLVO 240 GREENBOOKS MANUAL#

There are a few different manual gearboxes that came fitted to 240 Volvos:ġ. It is amazing how much better they go with a manual gearbox. The pedal box is a time-consuming pain to change over, but not actually difficult. I'm not sure if they have a speedo drive or not - I assume so.)Įverything else is pretty much a direct bolt in.

(Some 86 and possibly 87 model 240s have the older M46 gearboxes in them. These boxes were fitted to cars with electronic speedos, on the differential cover - if you fit a later gearbox to a -85 car, you won't have anything to connect the car's speedo cable to. 1986+ model gearboxes don't have a speedo cable drive. If you have a LH2.2 or 2.4 car, you must use the correct FW to suit your car.Ģ.

#VOLVO 240 GREENBOOKS SERIES#

LH2.4 uses a dished FW that has a series of holes on its OD for crank position and speed. LH2.2 and Motronic share the same dished FW that has one (two?) crank position indicator. Flywheels change depending on the intake.Ĭarburettor and mechanically injected (K-Jetronic) motors use the same flat FW. There are a few traps for the unwary, however:ġ. Mixed reviews on the completeness of the kit, but it is suitable/usable. If you choose to go outside of Volvo options, Dellow do a kit for the Toyota W55 & W58 boxes. If you came across a box at a generic wrecker (pick-a-part, etc), they're likely to be cheaper than that and you may even have some luck on one of their 'specials' days where all gearboxs cost X. They're ballpark, someone else may chime in, but I think this would be reasonable.įront tailshaft section for M47 is becoming difficult to get, as is LH2.4 flywheel (as per above). LUK and Sachs are good and have a good service life.įor a complete M47 with everything you need (except for a new clutch, see above) - $450 - $650 would be reasonable I'd thinkįor a complete M46 with everything you need (except for a new clutch, see above) - $300 - $500įor a complete M45 with everything you need (except for a new clutch, see above) - $250 - $400 You'd probably want to put a new clutch in it while its apart.Įxpect $280 - $380 or so, depending on which box you choose and brand of clutch. LH2.4 flywheel for M47 is becoming harder to get, but you may not need it depending on the year of your car.

Overdrive is electric and finding a decent one is becoming a little harder as they age. If you want to use a volvo box, you have 3 real options. Cost will vary with which box you'd like to use.
