I'm considering to replace my M45 with an M47 transmission that I've been offered at a low price (about $120). The thing is that it comes from a rust bucket (a 1986 245 GLE, B230A) with 371.000 km on the counter. It is supposed to be OK, with no noises or slipping out of gears, but the seller has only driven it a couple of times (he only bought it to pick parts off it). My M45 is still going strong (262kkm), but I'd like to have that fifth gear when cruising on the highway. Any views on this? Should I go for it or just wait for another transmission without the high kilometres? I've heard Volvo transmissions are close to everlasting. Is this right or just a myth (remember, we're not talking about turbos here)?

Anything I should be aware of when replacing etc.?
