	Hi all, I am considering using a 6 cylinder "white block" from a Volvo 960 for a conversion into a Ford RWD It would be preferential to use a manual gearbox but they appear unobtainable easily. As auto's are readily available I wonder what would be required electrically to use this option, if at all? I believe this box is the AW-40 I wonder if any knowledgeable folk on here could point me into the direction of some technical info or someone that's done this. Many thanks.

	Bit of cross-checking shows the box is likely to be an AW-30-40 which looks like it was used on a number of 90s Toyotas as well (so says Wikipedia). This will increase likelihood of finding an aftermarket controller Whiteblock manual boxes are hard to find, but you might be better finding a BMW manual box and an adaptor plate
