  1. Great news!

    I spoke to Seamus - a most helpful guy - and he clarified several points, not the least of which is that the M66 AWD trans works just fine with the stock AWD angle gear & rear diff - there is no need to replace any of those components. His has 40K on it since the swap with no issues.

    pic of the l/s rear fabricated mount bracket, that allows the use of the existing mount:

    He also confirmed that the stock driveshafts will work, although it would be better to get a r/s Manual AWD driveshaft - so I'll be tracking one of those down..

    Like Matt B, he says the stick ECU is a must.

    Other tidbits include the need to modify the underside of the airbox inlet & duct hose to clear the M66 linkage, and the need for higher temp brake fluid as a result of the internal slave cylinder.

    If all goes well, I'll have all the parts in the next week or so, then I can get set to put it all together smile.gif

    Can i install the same in my M66 from FWD S60T5? Do you have on extra mount bracket for me? I would buy))

  2. Coming together nicely.

    The main difference with the XC plate is that it won't deform with the double-wall reinforced design - it keeps an even seat for the subframe bushing. Not sure why you had to cut it to fit, though.

    Can you write volvo part number of XC plate and what front sway bar are you use??
