This adapter adapts the Nissan 6 speed transmissions (cd009) to a Volvo m46/m47 bell housing. These transmission are in another league from the tried and true T5. These transmissions feel a lot more sports car than farm equipment. They shift nicely even at high rpm and are stronger than a T5. They are a bit more involved to install in a 200 series car due to the shifter but really kind of a wash in a 7/9 car due to needing a shifter solution for a t5 and a cd transmission. New cd009 transmissions are avaliable from z1 motorsports for $2000 at time of writing. This is a bargin when compared to what a new or even rebuilt T5s go for these days.
The CD009 does require cutting the bell housing off the transmission. This is not nearly as scary as it sounds. A Sawzall makes light work of the cutting and it’s not a critical cut. It just needs to be out of the way. Nissan even put a casting rib right where you need to cut so you have a nice guide to follow. You will also be cutting the end of the input shaft. Again, very easy to do.
700/900 series cars will need a little bit of hammer work on the tunnel for the transmission to fit. The 200 series cars need a little bit more hammering than the 7/9 cars, but it still fits. 7/9 series cars will need a shorter shifter linkage to fit in the tunnel hole. 200 series will need the forward mount shifter we offer. This requires removing the tail housing from your transmission.
There are 3 input shaft bearing size options on these transmissions. Select the size you need or if you don’t know select the "I DONT KNOW" option and we will contact you.
