So story is like this, I have a 2000 T4 that once was an AT and was swapped to MT with M56L gearbox, Levers and pedal and everything else was taken from a 1.9D.
Problem is that when i let off the throttle or apply power sharply you can feel a very distinctive bang, sorta like when your missing or have a bad engine mount.
I though maybe its a tranny mount thats missing, cause i have no idea what the guy did back then, except that car drives good, but under heavy load like pulling it in 2nd gear all the way to the redline you can feel a very hard vibrating like the CV's are dead, but theyre just been refurbished.

Does anyone know if theres a difference between AT and MT in moutings of the engine and tranny??
or any other stuff that he might not know or forgot to put? all kinds of brackets mountings anything.

Thanks, Vinny.

You really in Israel?
I could take photo of all the mounts in a 2001 model, but it is chucking it down(raining) out side.

Could it be a anti roll bar bush or some else?

You should ask someone to rev your engine with the bonnent open. If it was an engine mount you could see the engine move slightly when rev'd. This might point you in the right direction.

Yeah im really from Israel.

Thing is, i dont think its an engine mount theyre all brand new.
What i meant was it could be a tranny mount thats missing.
How many Tranny and engine mounts supposed to be anyway??
All i can see is one in the front under radiator, one on psngr side that mounts to the frame one in the back of the engine on the bridge thats not connected to anything, and im starting to think thats one of the problems.
things is i need to know how many TRANNY mounts supposed to be, cause in this country no one knows anything about MT volvos cause there's almost none, so...
Really need help guys, thanks!

Problem not solved.

Im really confused here guys.

I need the rear engine bracket but all the brackets i found were for 2000-2004 s40's, probably for P2 only.
mine is a P1, will this bracket fit?

M56 AW50-42 (30611142)

Evening Vinny, just a question did you have any problems with the ecu side when you changed it to a manual?
What did you do? The reason I'm asking is that I'm thinking of doing it myself:) auto to manual on my 2001 t4

There is 3 mounts for the gearbox, 2 on the cradle and 1 near the battery tray

Sorry danny, cant help you on that one since im not the one who did the swap.
But as far as i can see nothings changed, except the AT computer is disconnected. if you will take the center piece of the center console out, i mean the part where the gear lever seats in, you will see a gray box with a very big black and red connector right under the radio. i my case its just unplugged and sits there. thats really all i know. sorry lad.
All i can say is theres a big difference between auto and manual on the T4. I have a friend with aan Auto one and it SUCKS! different worlds.

Rick could you be more specific?
I need the rear engine\tranny bracket that connects to the mount thats sitting right on the big bar under the engine... forgot its name! :)
Its the one that depends on either if you have an AT or MT.
I found this part: 30613895
Is this the one i need?

Thanks Vinny:) Mine certainly don't suck:)
Been remapped, 3 inch down pipe with a race cat and a ferita exhaust and it moves. But like you say it would be even quicker As a manual
Cheers Vinny
I'll look into it
