This seems like it would be a whole lot easier than having to swap transmission guts or cut/weld different bell housings and making sure everything is aligned properly
Just a thought

04-15-2012, 07:18 PM #1My dad made a good point earlier, why not just add an aftermarket/electric overdrive instead of going through so many hoops to get a 5th gear?

04-15-2012, 09:13 PM #5Not at all far-fetched. A neighbor of mine has a Dodge Ram, with the 5.9 Cummins, dualies on the rear axle; it has --um, I forget, either a 5- or a 6-speed original transmission. To which he added an after-transmission second gearbox, from a Mack truck. There's a splitter on the stick shift, so he has either 10 or 12 forward gears total. Before he retired, he used to haul fully-loaded full-size car-transport trailers up to and from Alaska with it.

04-16-2012, 12:00 AM #6Yeah I think if one could find one for cheap enough this would be much simpler than trying to make what would essentially be a "Franken-transmission", since it seems all you would really need to do would be to modify the drive shaft and come up with some sort of mounting brackets. Now I just need to find a cheap place to find these and do it lol

Might want to check gearvendors.com they specialize in electronic bolt on overdrive units. They cost more than most of us paid for our cars though Also I know Volvo made a manual gearbox with a electric overdrive factory installed on the back.

I'll have to start keeping my eyes open when for these volvos when I go to the yards from now on, this seems like the most plausible solution for one of these overdrives
Are the overdrives found on all Volvo 240 cars, or just certain models?

04-17-2012, 03:36 AM #12So it appears we are searching for 200 series Volvos from 1974-93 with the M46 transmission, this is the one with the electrical overdrive unit installed from the factory. Not totally sure if it was an option all of those years or just some, but at least its a start.

Shit, that's kinda the advantage of having that 2 speed shaft right. Pick out a good diff gear and maybe you can use like 6 of them.

Id be interested to see if it fits in the driveshaft tunnel, take a few pics for us. From what ive been reading, those things are like 9 inches across.
I see that as the biggest single problem getting a component like this fitted into a MB body. The tunnels are pretty tight

1989 Chevy Astro, 617 turbo swap, T5 5-speed, 4.56 diff, work van
(02-05-2013, 02:03 PM)sassparilla_kid No I haven't tried it yet, I might in a couple months once I get my w116 up and running though
And that would be like super overdrive lol
Id be interested to see if it fits in the driveshaft tunnel, take a few pics for us. From what ive been reading, those things are like 9 inches across.
I see that as the biggest single problem getting a component like this fitted into a MB body. The tunnels are pretty tight

My original Scimitar gearbox had an overdrive on it. It effectively turned the box into an 8 speed box but using it in anything other than 3rd and 4th would rip it apart. Be careful what you get and make sure it can take the torque or it will be horribly unreliable. Probably easier and cheaper to get a 5 speed or better to be honest but the choice is yours.

02-05-2013, 10:10 PM #30ive heard of regearing a transfercase and turning it around. so if you could set yourself up with about a 20%-30% overdrive could be an interesting outcome. are we trying to find a splitter for an automatic. cuz if its a standard you could go with the torque splitter online. i believe they come with a 27% overdrive, and fit between the bellhousing an transmission. just some idears
