Re: The Volvo REBORN 200 88

Actually, this is not too big a deal if you have the donor car or a nice pick and pull nearby. First, I have no idea why you want an exploded diagram of an M47 to do this job. OK, so it helps to practice in the pick and pull a couple of times. The tranny comes out in 2-3 hours, rear main seal, clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing, cross member,tranny mount and new tranny back in in 2-3 more and the rest of the time will be clutch cable, pedal, driveshaft which will add up to hours of fiddling but still it sounds like an ambitious weekend project. The hardest part will be getting all the parts and an M47 you trust with a good "history" of donor car maintainance, miles, general appearance.

With an '88 you do not have to worry about a bell housing impulse sender at least. So I think you can use any M47.

The only trick to know is you CAN get the top bell housing bolts and starter bolt out with 2-3 ft. extensions on a half inch drive socket set. There is enough room and flex to get them even though it may not look that way.
