  • Volvo M90 Gearbox to Audi 5 cyl turbo???

    Hi lads ive been led to believe a certain version of the Volvo M90 RWD gearbox mates directly to the Audi 5 cyl engine. I found this thread

    http://www.racingforum.pl/index.php?...04&hl=bm%20vag

    but the google translation from polish is horrendous on page 4 of the thread

    http://www.racingforum.pl/index.php?...bm%20vag&st=60

    there is this picture

    http://www.fotosik.pl/pokaz_obrazek/...1a71d80e5.html

    I believe its an M90H Maybe someone polish can confirm from the thread or another knowledgeable member on volvo/audi comparisons and compatability.

      I registered on that forum for some more confirmation but have had no reply thus far.

        Appears to be hanging off a audi I5 alright, it's the M90 from a car that had the 2.4 turbo diesel vw/audib I6 in it of that helps.

            the diesel 2,4 in6 in volvo 240/740/940 DOES fit audi in5 AND v6 AND v8 petrol or diesel... i know that, i have this item at home, even 2 pcs....the it MAY have the same pattern as the m45/46/47 and may M90...( the missing link)... so then its some other options too.. audi inline 5 pot, audi diesel bellhousing...from volvo, then adapterplate for bmw getrag for none bellhøusing verson...5 serie bmw....

                  This is a crafter gearbox,


                  looks like a audi bolt pattern

                  and this is a crafter engine



                  looks like the audi block.

                  I however havent tried this yet and dont know the ratios, I want to get one and try it out in a kit car I'm building but havent been able get one cheap enough, commercial stuff is plenty ful but also costs plenty

                    i looked at crafter/LT gearbox and M90 ones,

                    i decided to use a ford MT75 when i put an I5 in my sierra years ago, better fit and ratios than the M90

                    just had a spacer plate fab`d to mate the 2 together and used an RS turbo clutch

                            A buddy of mine who is familiar with older RWD Volvos mentioned that the 4spd (usually with overdrive) were bombproof and fitted to the more powerful models but the 5spd boxes were not that strong. Also, first gear was quite a low ratio on all of them with a large gap to second gear which would not suit drag vehicles.

                              The 740 will have a M40 series gearbox so not as strong as the M90. M90 was in post 95 960s and 940s
