The spine is different for the M66 right? What flywheel/clutch/pressure plate did you use? 

 

Im going to do this mod on my 850R Aut. but with a diesel M66AWD. should keep 1st and 2nd the same, 3,4 and 5th slightly longer and an extra OD 6.

My previous 01 T4 S40 did 160km/h in 6th with a M66 mod 

When I converted my fwd p80 to AWD I used a xc70 d5 m66 gearbox but had to fit a s60r diff in the gearbox so I can use the 850 drive shafts. 

As for the clutch I'm using a solid flywheel with a 850r pressure plate and a S60R friction plate.

You can use the S60R complete clutch & flywheel setup. Or hybrid like oblark. Sounds like the diff axle splines are wrong on the  Diesel M66 though...

I can confirm that diesel m66 has different angle gear splines, 47 iirc, thus there are two options to fit it with P80 angle gear- use s60r open diff or any aftermarket lsd. what I did is the quaife QDF14J 

The only major difference between diesel and petrol M66 is that the diesel diff is more beefy and the final gear collar is attached from another side of the diff. 

Hereby, get diesel m66, add petrol diff and attach the final gear collar as per petrol setup. all bolt on. 

The diesel m66 are much wider than petrol gearboxes, besides with 2 final gear options, I have described this in thread here of m66 hybrid build

That's wierd. I swapped my s40 T4 2000 with a non awd M66 and those drive shafts fitted just fine. I'll look in to it

 

That was a P3 2009 gearbox. now im using a 2006 S60 AWD box
