M90 in a 240

[tony210219]

Hello guys I'm looking to fit the m90 in to a 240 from what I understand people beat the gear box tunnel ro accommodate it is it that much you have to beat it ideally don't want to cause too much damage as its a really clean shell... dones it need beating all around it or 1 pelartucular area I haven't fitted it yet it'll be over next 2 weeks I'm tackling it

There is no need to machine the transmission tunnel ...

You need an extension of the cardan shaft, an adapter to the gearbox bearing and have to adapt the shift linkage. You can buy all but the last item from LucaCarMods.

I'm aware on all the parts I was under impression transmission tunnel is smaller on a 240 so I've believed it needs beating to fit it in

No problem fitting a M90 to my 1991 240 here. I suppose if someone made their own bracket that was too tall they might have problems, but there are many conversions M90>240 in the UK with seemingly no issue.

Ahh sound for some reason I seen a tread where they beat bulkhead to fit it like you say maybe mount issue I've got box clutch my mates gonna make prop up just gear box mount I see classic swede does one but I've heard mixed reviews about the company

The classicswede M90 mount is the same as the one sold by Lucacarmods.

I bought the M90 mount from classic swede without a problem.

Or you use the stock gearbox mount with a Volvo 940 Gearbox Bearing for M90.
