I don't know mate, but there has to be a way of fitting R shafts onto a T5 box.

There are 2 types of M56 gearbox,

M56 with external slave.
M56 with internal slave.

If the M56 has an internal slave you cant use an external slave ( I found this out when I changed engines )

The internal slave has different mounting holes, you'd need to remove the thrust bearing sleeve off thee M56, then drill and tap new holes to mount the internal slave unit. Volvo actually did a retrofit kit some years ago.
