hi there i have just bought a 340 3 door an other 1,
but its an auto,
its very clean its mint
but she needs new engine and of corse different gearbox,
now i know where i can get a rotting 4 door for parts its a 1.4 and is not an auto
i will be swaping the running gear over 2 and 3 door volvo
now what i want to know is are auto 340,s the same as gear change 1s
are the box mounts the same?
many thinks michael

Congrats for wanting to bin the rubber band box mate!

From what I have learned through glancing at various posts on here, everything will swap over, but the gearbox crossmember is different, and the engine itself has loads of vaccum crap on it. There will be loads more too. If you will have both cars though, I can't see it being an issue.

ya that a1 should be ok so
as long as it bolts on all the rest will be fine
thanks 4 the post nice1 chears

I take it someone does not like "Rubber Bands"

Personally I swear by the Variomatic....but that's my thing and the only reason I bought my 343.

I do like them, make good catapults! Not for me where my cars are concerned though, but each to his/her own!

Micko, was that the red one from down Dublin?

Save the auto bits like It'd be a shame to weigh 'em in.

no but i have seen that 1 thats clean also. ya want be getting it for 100 euro
this is what i payed for this 1 like its the same as that 1 same colour and everything
stuped auto tho flip that cant drift it.it wouldent be a hard job swaping over the parts tho,
i hope anyways.i dont even now yet will i even bother i seen a 2.0 liter sierra for sale about 2 miles away from me
i might just buy that and weld the diff!

I can be done, and it's a little bit of work swapping things over, but if you have manual car sitting next to it then it'll be easier.

I've got enough auto cars down here thanks!

haha if ya want another 1 would you be intrested in the volvo?IT mint before i smash it in a fue lampost around westport

Nah, as I say, I've got more than enough.
