How much is there in this, will a 5 speed gearbox fit, and will I have to use the driveshaft from the 5 speed?? It is a 360 with B19 Engine from 84.

Yes a 5 speed will fit, it's the same as the 4 speed, but with an overdrive added to give fifth.

I don't think you need to change the prop or anything, but read this thread for more info http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... ht=gearbox

Yes, I can't think of a reason off the top of my head why the 5-speed won't simply bolt in in place of the 4-speed. The diff housing is longer on the 4-speed, so I'm pretty sure the prop shaft is the same length.

Of course you must change the shift knob, as one with only 1/2/3/4 marked on it cannot be moved into position 5

Hang on a mo, didn't all 360's come with 5spds as standard? I can't ever recall seeing a 4spd 360 either in the flesh or in a brochure.

True, 360 never has been 4 speed, maybe gear knob has been changed and there actually would be 5th gear?

Yeah, I just read the topic title and thought the same! I only thought some 340 1.4's got the 4 speed?

I'm guessing someone may have swapped in the 4 speed at some point maybe as a replacement for a dodgy gearbox, as they had it to hand or it was cheap, or for the diff ratio for acceleration, not for top end speed?

oki, will run out tomorrow and check if there is a 5th gear then,..
