I love my s40 too much to sell it for a manual version so i was wondering if there are any manual swaps out there? thanks!

Re: s40 manual swap? (s40beast)

Being that this car has way too many modules, I dont know if a manual swap would be possible without interrupting some communication problems. That is unless you were able to get SW ordered somehow in which you could remove the TCM...

You dont think its possible to just get a manual tranny with the needed parts and like a ecu from a manual car?

I would say its possible but just get this http://www.easyexport.us/carfi...99940 14 hours left and at less than $1000. You can go to the dealership I believe and have the VIN removed from the ECU and yours put in and then you can switch all the parts over including the awd. Its kinda my plan but you can give it a shot.

Re: (s40beast)

I wouldnt say that its impossible, the mechanical side is straight forward but would be not cost or time effective. Would require much more work than just purchasing another car...

could i use a manual tranny from a 2.4i on my t5?

 

[jdsr917]

Yes any M66 will work, I think this is a great idea ....

Did the 2.4i come with the 5speed ?

your looking in too much money spent and time. these cars have way to many modules and sensors to make it an easy job. You are better off just buying a manual car. Save your self money and time and headache

when i was 18 i did the swap on a 98 dodge neon and it was a pain doing it. Especially when it came to replacing the pedals.

here is the write up I found: The Ultimate Volvo S40/V50/C30 Auto to Manual Swap Guide on ImportSauce.com

I believe the 2.4i used the M56 5-speed manual tranny vs the T5 M66 6 speed manual.

I have an M66 FWD available but it needs a bearing and shift forks. Rock Auto lists the bearing fairly inexpensive.

I was going to go into a long discussion until I saw this thread started in 2010
