  1. In Topic: M56 Swap To M66...What'S Needed?

    Posted 25 Aug 2009

    Here's a list of what the M66 came in for our North American market:

    M66 AWD
    P1 '04.5+ S40 T5 AWD / V50 T5 AWD
    P2 '04-'07 S60R / V70R

    M66 FWD
    P1 '07+ C30 T5
    '06+ C70 T5
    '04.5+ S40 T5 / V50 T5
    P2 '05-'08 S60 T5 / V70 T5

    I am curious of the differences between the P1 and P2 M66 models. There are probably more P1 M66's on the road than there are P2 M66's...


    I'm in the middle of an M56LK to M66W (FWD) swap right now and it's a doozy :). I sourced my M66W from a S40 T5 (actually from Laval). There have been some minor catches - which were fairly easily sorted out since I'm a P2 and the M66W does come in earlier P2s. Rear engine mount, shift bracket (180 degrees from what it is in the S40), shift cables and gear shifter assembly were all swapped out. I think that's all I've done so far... Hopefully my car will be safely mobile this week and I'll post up a parts list. Right now I'm trying to see if I can the reverse lockout solenoid to work with the existing wiring (lockout wiring is there, but wasn't actually used in manual P2s until later on). We're trying to see if we can get a software flash to make it function.

    Thanks man, I appreciate that. My transmisison is leaking fluid pretty intensely right now, and pops out of gear on anything north of 4K. Don't think it's drivable anymore. *sigh* There are a couple of M56LK in California, but 1100US and then dealing with shipping and brokering may knock the price out of the park.

    If I go with the M66W route, would anyone know what I should be looking to pay for shifter/cables/solenoid?

    I was under the impression that the AWD variant wouldn't work as well as the FWD version found in 05+ S60s and S40/V50 FWD.
