There are like 2 or 3 people on VS doing an M66 swap in 850s and or P1s, I believe the only diffrence between P2 R M66s and the FWD M66 found in 05 T5s only require filling up a few holes with some machined bits... you could certanly find an R M66 with a relative amount of ease.

again, just being the devils son of a gun!

T5 models mark the most technically changed offerings in the S60 lineup. Steering feel is improved with speed sensitive steering, while the manual transmission switches to the new 6-speed design fitted to R models and S40 T5 models.

oh right you have an 05, in that case, don't mean to be the devils advocate, but wouldn't you want to get a M66 like the manual cars like yours came from the factory?

also, I'm not expert i auto to manual swaps, but can't you simply source a manual ECU, ditch the auto ECU and TCU and call it a day?

I guess the parts guy is a douche... best thing i probably to walk up to the techs i the garage and ask them straight up. Anyway, I like the aftermarket one better because of space constraints... ill post some pics when I install it next week.
