Hadn't read it in a while, but I remember it being an interesting thread. If I could find a T6 with an upgraded and stronger transmission, I would be interested. Like I said before, I think the T6 is a good engine for the XC90.

Hope it works for you.

Yeah we have the same transmission in the S80 so I'm somewhat familiar with it. Trying to get away from working on my cars as much as I do.
