V40 T4 6 speed gearbox

Hi everyone!

Finally got my van running again and this is the result:

The gearbox installation is a lot more tricky than the internet advised.. it was possible yes.. but far far away from a easy or direct job.. did in fact anyone have done it or this is indeed the world unique V40 T4 6 speed?

Btw, the six gear is a speed ticket bait..

I have only seen one person put an M66 into an S40 T4. It's a red car that is online somewhere and is mainly used for track days. I was curious to know about the swap recently myself, even though I sold my T4 years ago. At the time I owned it, transmission conversions seemed to be very scarce and rarely performed. It might have been down to the S40/V40 T4 being less popular, or indeed as global a model as any of the T5's.

My T4 was the Aisin five speed auto and if I had kept it, I would have definitely looked at an M66 manual swap.

Did you need to fabricate new mountings?
