Thanks for those links, Matt. A couple of those were new to me and that first link was great. Between you guys helping me in this thread and emailing Lucky I've got most of hard stuff figured out. A few hardware questions remain, however. First up is a question about the leather shifter cover and t...

Hey guys I've solved the issue, I found the two wires that controls the brake lights.. There was a green wire, blue with yellow stripe, solid red, and a solid yellow wire. The yellow and red operates the brake lights while the green operates the shift safety lock and the blue with yellow stripe prob...

I think you are going to run into this a lot during a swap. The car is wired for all kinds of things for the automatic that you will not have, so you will need a wiring diagram and thinking cap to sort that out. I've looked all over the net and it seems like I'm the only one to have this problem wh...

I was planning to do that but the thing is that the connector different, my car has a connector with 4 wires and the manual switch only has two..

Hey guys, I'm currently in the middle of doing a manual swap on my car and I ran into a little problem, the automatic brake pedal assembly has a square hole (blue arrow) where the brake light switch (green circle) fits into but the manual pedal assembly has a circle instead of a square (red arrow).....

Let me know what you find out! I want the biggest clutch I can get my hands on. I found out the part number for the wider clutch!

Will do bud!

I'm in the same boat as you. I was looking at this kit -> http://www.volvopartswebstore.com/products/Volvo/Clutch-kit/1125064/272218.html Apparently its for the B5234T4 engine which is the engine used in the 850R (if my research is correct). I read somewhere in the forums that FCP sells the wider c...

thanks for the reply! the picture isn't mine, I saw it online and I used it to show what I was talking about, my car is still auto and I'm planning to do a manual swap this summer but I'm confused about the clutches... I'm wondering if the clutch I got was meant for turbo models, I'm afraid that it ...
