Slowbrick Hello everyone, Looking for a decent M series gearbox to put into the 245. This is a tentative decision based on how well I go with the T5 gearbox I have sitting in my garage. I accidentally killed the M46 in the 245 when I turned the boost up to 20psi :| I am in Newcastle but can travel. Show me what you got!
VolvoHordz I have an M45 or 3. Otherwise get the noisy m47 back of mike (pretty sure that's where it went right?) and I have a new 5th gear bearing and seals for it.
Slowbrick Yeah but that M47 was such a piece of shit. Im mainly just looking for something as a just in case. If you got a spare M45 with the drive shaft then im keen. Im not keen for that M47 hahaha.
Vee_Que Put the mustang box in! Straight bolt up. I have a front plate I can swap for your current one. And the crossmember takes not much effort to make work.
Vee_Que Slowbrick;115762 wroteI want to put it behind the T6 :( Doesn't quite work. The shifter position ends up wrong for that, too far forward into the console. an el or the vs box is better for it.
Slowbrick So what you are saying is that I cant use the Mustang box with the T6 in a 240 because of the shifter position but the VS box works? I have an adapter plate for the redblock and T6 sitting on the shelf but havent actually done anything with them :|

Slowbrick Cheers mate. Ill keep it in mind in case I run out of time with the T5 and need a quick solution :)
heavy_dd I have an m47 that has done roughly 100 thousand. Was in perfect working order. In Coffs Harbour.
