Volvo gearbox ?
I've just noticed on TOPIx that the transmission on my Puma DC is described as "6 SPD MAN TRANS VOLVO M66 AWD". I didn't realise that the Puma gearbox was a Volvo design.

Ford engine, Volvo gearbox, hmm. Shocked

Indeed.

That MT-82 Getrag is used throughout the Ford group, incl in the Mustang. --
