Can I transplant a '82 manual 4-speed + OD transmission into my '94 940 turbo? 900

Lots of turbo cars used the J overdrive, it should be just fine. You will need shift linkage from a manual 740, though, as the shifter setup is different between 2xx and 7/9xx cars. Also things like the mount, pedals, clutch actuation (cable or hydraulic.) The 82 OD unit has a speedo cable takeoff point which you won't use, it will leak fluid unless capped. I believe you will need a flywheel that's set up for your RPM sensor, might be hard to find. So, yes it will work fine with your car, but the transmission is just the start of what you will need. Best to find a late 740 manual donor car. Been done, though, and should make a fabulous car. A late 940 with manual trans is on my wish list...
