gearbox differences

[T5frankie]

Is an m56l an m56l no matter what 850 it comes out of i.e 2.0 or 2.5? thanks

LINK, there were 3 different final drive ratios on M56L's, personally i'm going for a longer ratio box

Pretty sure all the 850 M56L's are the same mate.

Sorry I was thinking in regards to strength rather than ratios.

like what?

there all listed in the link i attached, its a excel sheet of ratios/speed for most volvo gearboxes

would the 2.0 have differnt ratios/speeds than the 2.5 as that is saying that an m56l fitted to a 2.0 20valve is good for 170mph that cant be right

not all the same, the early ones had a different speedo drive, i know because mine is. would that fit a v70r or would it need altering?

[dalhousie2008]

2.5 20 valve is the same as t5 isn't it?

what code is the 2.5t gearbox pedro?

850 ones need modifying to fit v70's as internal and external slaves

i would of thought the 2.0litre would have a lower final drive than the 2.5litre, no thats only a guess.

The M56L has a different 1st & 2nd gear to a M56H, the other 3 gears are the same ratio. So if you get one with the same 4.00:1 as our M56H all your gaining is more wheelspin unitl you get into 3rd, then its exactly the same as before

i would imagine the same as a t5 an m56h

you got any info on the final drive for a v70 2.0 20v?

Wouldn't matter, as the later cars used the ABS sensors for the speedo drive

Good chance to do away with ya DMF and get a 850r clutch fired in.

[dalhousie2008]

just didn't want him to buy one and it not fit, be the last thing he needs

[T5frankie]

yeah it would fit but i'm looking for something different a 2.0 box would give better acceleration but max out at 140 ish

Theres a p2ex plod up by me with a m56lk in it. Can find out how much they want if its still there
