When I pulled my motor my dumbass lost the bolts that hold the transmission to the motor. Does anyone know the size, pitch, and length of all the bolts that hold the trans to the motor including the starter bolts? Thanks.

My car is a 1993 245 w/ m47. So... my problem all started 2 weeks ago, little did I know how much of a pita it would be. I took my hood off to paint it and it just happened to rain that day I took my hood off. After it rained my reverse lights were stuck on so I just unplugged them for the time...

So I?ve finally convinced myself to go ahead and buy a set of ipd sway bars so I go on ipd and I see there are two Swaybar kits that have the same stuff but one is like 10$ more. Is there any difference between these two? https://imgur.com/Wi7DpPH

Hey guys. I?m back again with another problem with my 240. So the steering shakes really bad when going hwy speeds (60-70) and I just can?t figure out why. I?ve replaced the rack, the tie rods (both inner and outer), new ball joints, and a new lower steering shaft u joint. What else could...

So guys the ac on my 93 240 isn?t working. My car still blows air it?s just not cold. I tried recharging the ac and that didn?t work. My power steering still works so my condenser isn?t locked up. Should I just replace the whole ac condenser?

My 93 240 has started making a loud clunking noise coming from somewhere in the rear suspension. It only makes this noise when I go over speed bumps or super big bumps. I replaced the shocks and it still makes this noise. I tightened everything down in the rear and still made the noise. I tried...

Hey guys. Not sure if this belongs in the performance section. So my steering rack is trashed. It is missing some splines and just not in good shape. It?s a 93 so it has the cam rack. I?m going to have to swap it out for another rack... should I change to another rack while I?m swapping it out...

I?m sure this has been discussed somewhere else on the forums so sorry in advance. So I?m contemplating +t my 93 240 and I think I have found info on mostly everything but I haven?t seen anything online that says whether you have to pull the engine or not to drill and tap the block for the oil...

Has anyone bought the shortshifter off aliexpres? And does anyone know if they are any good? https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32810106598.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&spider=y&productId=32810106598&productSubject=V-o-l-v-o-short-shifter-M45-M46-M47-240-740-940-short-throw-shifter

Hey guys I?m currently replacing my in-tank fuel pump and sending unit as the pump has died and the gas gauge doesn?t work. While I?m dealing with the fuel pumps I thought I might as well replace the rubber fuel hoses that connect to the sending unit. Does anyone know the diameter of the 2...

My 93 240 has a weird starting problem where it won?t start unless it?s been on the jumper cables even though the battery is fully charged. After the engine turns over several times it finally starts. But every time you turn it off and back on it gets slower and slower to start until eventually...

My 93 240 has a problem where if your going 60-70 the steering starts to feel really loose and sloppy but going around 45 it feels nice and tight. I?ve jacked the car up and checked for bad inner tie rods but the wheels are stiff. Could this be bad ball joints?

The shocks on my 240 are totally shot and I’m going to be replacing them. I was going to go for an oem shock but decided to upgrade them while I’m at it. Some konis or bilstiens would be baller but I don’t want to spend that much money soooo does anyone have any recommendations for some good...

Hello everyone, I recently posted something a couple of days ago about my gauge cluster not working. Somebody suggested a loose ground so I checked the ground wire that was in the 3 pin connector to the speedo and it was loose. I tightened it and the cluster worked... or so I thought. I went to...

Several days ago my gauge cluster went out in my 1993 240. At first I thought it might be the cluster or the wiring but the blinker lights still work. None of the gauges or warning lights work. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or what may be causing it? Thanks.
