Hello,

You're best off finding an M46 at a junkyard. You should be able to get one for around 100 bucks. While O/D failures are possible, they are not common, and chances are you'll get a good one from a scrap yard.

An M47 has no speedo cable output, and M45's were not as common as M46's. An M45 would require the longer driveshaft, and would be annoying to drive on the highway with the higher RPM's.
