Volvo 940 Drift Car Project! Gearbox and Flywheel Change

Volvo 940 Drift Car Project Gearbox and Flywheel Change
Part 3
Welcome back to our channel! In this video we will be taking out the old Automatic gearbox and replacing it with a more suitable M90 manual box for our volvo 940 turbo drift project, We have also bought a TTV billet flywheel and 850r clutch kit which is a much stronger and safer unit.

The world need's girls like you 🤧😁💛

If you are reading this. Go and get yourself a good 940 I've got the TD version ,these are the last of the old school cars built to last 20 yrs plus !!

[@cornantaters3067]

Love seeing you two working together. Hope to have the same opportunity with my own kid someday. Sounded like Beth revealed her inner Southerner around 0:54...

[@carlwilson1772]

That was very enjoyable. Look forward to the turbo replacement.

[@georgetouzis6103]

I keep saying it, but I love watching you and your dad working together. Your dad is very knowledgeable and I love that you are so willing and ready to attempt anything. Another ATTA GIRL a d great job to dad. Raised a great young lady.👍

When I think drift car, Volvo is not the brand that comes to mind first. This is going to be a real nice sleeper of a drift car. Can't wait to see the turbo work next.

[@henriklarsson9815]

I'm from Sweden and Volvo is the first thing that comes up in my head when thinking drift car :D

[@bullaniugnen]

I was screaming internally when you guys put the flywheel in the wrong position but no worries, you guys got it fixed :D Nice solution on the flywheel+pressureplate combo being thinner than the original! Mine was to unbolt the clutchfork pivotball inside the gearbox bellhousing and putting approx. 4mm of washers under it. Keep the content coming!

[@thughes52]

Unusual choice a Volvo drift car but it's going good 👍

[@femundsenden]

The m90 gearbox got a weak 3rd. You should get a hold of a BMW diesel gearbox that has welded a volvo clutchhousing to it. Cool project tho (y)

[@mrsimpa1]

well you could also weld the 3rd gears stop ring then its solid

[@tommykarate5126]

Cool well worn overalls you wearing in that busy workshop with your father!

[@neila2953]

Great job. Already looking forward to the turbo upgrade - exactly what I'm thinking about doing to mine

[@robc8593]

Please keep making videos, I appreciate you always have a lot of projects on the go so could do without the extra hassle, but I really enjoy them for the skills and the honesty. Thanks x

[@GettingGood]

Great video ! The pedal swap part is my least favorite part of the swap every time ! Also 3 feet of extensions and some wobble bits those 2 top bolts come out easy from underneath the car as mentioned in some other comments !

[@Elswalbe]

shoulder harnesses seem like they are mounted too low. I love the video.

[@Astonvanquishs]

Wow you did an awesome job!! I can't wait to see the next part!! (and how's the mighty Sierra going?)

[@3brandon]

[@rbeegood]

I've seen some of your other videos and just spotted you are working on a 940. I've just bought the same flywheels and clutch you have and have been waiting for a few other parts before fitting it. One thing I did spot was that you mounted the gearlever mount inside the car and not in the tunnel. Not seen that done before on a Volvo only on old Minis !

[@usherengineering179]

Hi yes i think we will have to change that, we originally mounted it underneath but was told we had mounted it wrong....but i think the correct place was how we had it.....although it do select the gears fine

[@rbeegood]

@@usherengineering179 You might have started a new trend ! I've had a dog dish flywheel and diesel clutch in mine but it's started to slip. It's done well so the 850 clutch seemed a good upgrade.

[@maxwilson1674]

So glad to see this content available in video. so the stock propshaft bolted up to the m90 gearbox? I would have thought it would be too short for the smaller transmission.

[@usherengineering179]

Hi Max, only the front piece is different to the spline, the auto prop has a round flange 4 bolt where the manual is 3 bolt

[@linusprestberg3019]

The top bolt is not hard to get to drop the driveshaft and The gearbox mount and lower the gearbox just a little bit and you can get 2 long extenders and a socket

[@beluxauto5968]

Except for the honest mistake with the CP sensor you have to admit that the swap went easy . I personally would have left the driveshaft in one piece but that´s personal preference .

[@usherengineering179]

Hi yes it was an easy swap to be fair, we had to split the prop because the front piece that goes to the manual box is different to the auto but goes on the same spline on the rear piece, thanks for watching

[@petedoherty6041]

Great work guys will u weld the diff

[@usherengineering179]

I have been told it has a volvo LSD but apparently they are not that good for drifting due to the way they lock, we do have another axle that will be welded and changed

[@fixitnige]

always need more power lol :)

[@thatdudeinorange2297]

Good choice and start on modifications fitting lighter flywheel, and new clutch? What engine is in it, hopefully B230 and not B200 as you mentioned. Will check previous video 😉

[@danielhillier7417]

Its the 200. It used to be my car

[@thatdudeinorange2297]

Not much point tuning it then as cheapest upgrade is the bigger version, but maybe there wherent sold many due to tax reason? Like in Italy, where they had a 2-litre 16 valve that never was available im Sweden. We had 740's with 2,3-litre 16-valve, an engine never fitted here in the 940 series.

[@mhuk1220]

you went ttv and i went dog dish budget. I hope my daughter will help with cars when she's old enough. :-)

[@lordbagguley3890]

Did you go with an 850 clutch also? Did you need to space the pivot? Im having issues atm. Cheers

[@usherengineering179]

@@lordbagguley3890 Hi yes we are using the 850 clutch and all we done was extended the slave cylinder rod to take up the gap

[@kullipetteri]

Did you need to change the pilot bearing before attaching the flywheel? Or does it work with the stock one that came with the automatic

[@usherengineering179]

It's the automatic stock bearing with an extension bearing from classic swede

[@thatdudeinorange2297]

What diff ratio does an automatic run? Cheapest way to get that heavy car to accelerate better is lowest possible ratio from the scrapyard, its not like you need 130+mph topspeed for what you're planning. Also, if you weld the diff then buy as many driveshafts you can get your hands on as you'll need them! Or buy a Torsen diff, may cost a bit but saves a lot of grief and swearing in the long run. M90 is the strongest gearbox, of the ones fitted in those 940's, sadly that doesnt say much.. Stock up on those to.. there is some trick to make those M90's last a little longer by welding syncros on second or third gear, will get back on that!
