Nissan CD900 gearbox seems to be the new best thing.

Brand new cd900 box $3850 160-190 day wait. Out of the 350z I see, will see what aftermarket second hand options are like cause that's a bit spicy considering I would need clutch , master cylinder flywheel etc. In my old ute I used to use the tyres as a circuit breaker, nothing to sticky so instead of blowing a box or diff it would just turn the tyres

@Ex850R might just go with getting the project engine and gearbox first, It would be interesting to see if it could be done. If I win powerball tomorrow night I'll fly you to Sydney and we can whiteboard the AWD system

Ex850R

If I get motivated (hahahaha) I'll use the ICEton palace garage for a sik T6 AWD 240 build.

Ex850R

So the project has begun and I've started ripping things out and disconnected as much as I can ready for the engine removal on the weekend.

I've purchased an engine , can't seem to get retroturbo to respond and email seems down so engine mounts I'm still trying to track down for a whiteblock. Excited but tonnes of work to do

Make them.

Even the worst welds done with love are cheap. (Just grind the fucker back to look good.....)

I'll be getting a new welder with tig capability soon as the minister of finance isn't looking so making mounts is on the list.

Retro turbo went bust a few years back iirc. Classic swede is the alt

Well that explains why no response lol. Cool thankyou will have a look

If you really have to use Classic Swede make sure you use paypal and get your money back as soon as there are any issues. I would suggest best avoid them all together.

Thanks for the heads up, sounds like there's a story there. I can do without headaches that's for sure

Well but of an update its been a while it's hard having young kids and full time work and trying to build a car. Photos from today. Gotta fabricate a gearbox mount off the 240 cross member gotta talk to @Ghettobird and see how he did his for the 240. But for now the box and engine are just loosely sitting on crossmembers , but it's getting there.

waleus

Ok peeps hoping to get a bit of assistance, or if needs be I can persist on doing what I am already doing. What trans crossmount are people using or have people used for t6 with AW3043 into 240. so far I have got a rubber mount crossmember "pad" and the gearbox mount

And I have this mount that mounts to the back of the gearbox and is supposed to fit into the mounting pad

But it doesnt fit, the thread is not long enough and the bottom of the mount catches on the rubber. and then obviously this part does not fit the standard volvo 240 automatic transmission cross member. Can anyone let me know what they have used to fit to their 240? I have a mate coming over to suss it out with me, I am pretty sure I am just going to notch the cross member and make a suitable spot to mount and just cut it until it fits, but surely someone has done this before and it was more straight forward than that, I suspect i am using the wrong parts. Any help would be much appreciated.

Nice work! I think that photo of the rubber mount you have is the 740 style mount. And I believe it sits in a pocket in the crossmember, with the part on top in your photo being the bottom of the mount. What way did you try to slide the mount onto the stud? Can you show a pic or two?

waleus

I am going to have to carve the front edge off the bottom mount

Here is the problem, the bottom part I am holding onto in the last photo is too long for the threded section to be exposed.

I think I am going to have to cut the front edge off and if that is not enough to get the thread out the bottom I will need to cut that bottom little part off so I can get some purchase on the thread. then bolt it onto the existing crossmember once i finish notching it and cutting a holt for it to sit in

carnut222

No, I believe you have the rubber mount upside down. What happens if you flip it over?

waleus

Same problem but slightly worse, the bottom has a cupped metal base on it, same interference.
Less thread shows

Ex850R

Replace the bolt.........
