The M47 will require a different drive shaft/flange, there's not any speedo output on the US spec models (stay away from the early TypeI versions that have the speedo drive, found outside of US). In addition you will need to use a later recessed flywheel & clutch. They shift smoother than an M45/46, and las as long (basically the same first 4 forward gears as M45/46) but your best bet is finding a used good condition M46, they are all around. I have two of them sitting around my garage, both in great condition.
Want one?
