Up for sale is a very rare 5 speed manual transmission 1996 Volvo 850R. This has been my sisters car for the last four years and she loved it but her family is expanding and she needs a wagon to fit everything. She bought the car with 230K and at that time it had a leaking rear main seal. Since the transmission had to come out my sister said she wanted to put a manual transmission in the car. Since i have done 6 manual transmission swaps them before this one it was a quick and easy conversion. I used a good transmission and all the necessary parts from a donor non turbo 1996 850 that had 140K. I put in a brand new OEM Volvo 850R clutch and bearing. I also replaced the axle seals rear main seal and anything else that need replacing. The ECU is from a 1998 T-5 S70. The check engine light is on for the air pump and barometric pressure sensor. I know someone who passed the emissions test for my sister so i never needed to get it flashed out. These codes can be tuned out by sending the ecu out to ARD tuning. Eight months ago the car lost compression on cylinder 2 which was a burnt valve. I took the head off replaced the bad valve replaced all the valve seals and reseated all the valves so this wouldn't happen to any other valves. I also replaced all the upper engine seals and all the gaskets. I also cleaned and replaced the breather system. I also installed new spark plugs wires cap and rotor. The timing belt was also replaced at this time. All the parts used were brand new OEM Volvo parts.The engine runs great doesn't burn any oil or coolant. The transmission shifts smoothly and the clutch engages properly. There is a small oil leak from the cooler lines or the breather box. I didnt look into it because she is selling the car. The suspension and steering is in great shape and doesn't have any play or clunks. I have replaced quite a few things in the front suspension over the years. wheel bearings control arms tie rods spring seats ect... The interior is in good shape not everything works as it should. the headliner is saving because someone before me drilled a hole in the roof to put an aftermarket antenna in the car and it wasn't properly sealed. it has been resealed but the headliner was not fixed. The body has its fair share of dings and scrapes but it has never been in an accident or had any paint work. I do not have the original rims they have been sold because my sister was tired of replacing blown out tires. Please email me with any questions or if you want to come see or test drive the car.

I must have messed it up when i cleaned it when the head was off. I also forgot to say the oil cooler lines are only a year old. I replaced them with brand new volvo lines.
