I agree with Chris, the M46 is definately a stronger transmission and will hold up better under the heavy torque loads of your Turbocharged engine.

If you really want the M47 (5-speed) in your car, they were equipped on the '87 and later 240s (replaced the M46 in the 240 lineup), and the '87 and later 740 non-turbos. As Chris mentioned, you will need to use the shifter linkage from an '87+ 740 non-turbo, and the driveshaft (longer) from an '87 740 non-turbo.

God bless,
Fitz Fitzgerald.
