Well... I don't know who said this would be a easy thing to do... but this has been one of the biggest pains in the ass I have ever seen. Right now I am dealing with the pedals. I think someone skipped telling me the part about removing the dash to do anything with the pedals I started this stuff thursday night at about 11:30PM and called it quits today at 5:30am. This is what I have done:

Removed the dash from my 91 245, and took out the old pedal assembly. Took the dash off of my 82 245 to remove the pedal assembly. I don't think this job is even possible without removing the dash on the 89-90+ 240's. The way the cruise control and different computer boxes are mounted everywhere, you don't have any access to the bolts that remove the different assemblies. So far this has bee more difficult then replacing my heater core on my 80 244. This just plain sucks. I think once I get the holes drilled in the firewall for the pedal mounting bolts and the clutch cable passthrough, everything will be easy from there. I will try to take some pics of the things I had to do, and put them up on my site for anyone that wants to know how to accomplish this swap on a newer 240. Besides the firewall not having the holes pre-drilled for the clutch, everything has been completely smooth. At least I will be able to say that I actually did a m46 swap.. AND took out 2 240 dashes in the same day

I will update this as I continue, but I don't think I will get to swapping the trannies this weekend, since I currently have only 2 jack stands, and no torque wrench. My goal is to finish the pedal assembly, and remove the driveshaft from the 82 245. I will hopefully have everything ready to just swap the trannies and be done with this.

The items I bought for this swap are : new clutch kit, flywheel, clutch tool thingy, tranny mount, and soon to be drill bits for the hole cutting totaling about 175 bucks so far
