First post!

Just been to the scrap yard on the lookout for a gearbox for the 5..... seen the usual 19 16v and campus etc which are no good to me.... i know that the boxes from the 440 and 480 turbo fit..... but i have noticed there is a volvo 480 na engine up there with a box... just woundering if this is the same box used in the turbo versions and if it could take the strain??

cheers all Chris :smokin:

You have to cut the young some slack on certain mistakes. That's one of the more difficult to forgive :homer:
