240 Does anybody have an exploded diagram or pictures of an M47 shifter bushing assembly?

Hi All,

Months ago, the shifter on my M47 was complete garbage, so I dropped some coin and picked up a set of bronze bushings. Those tightened it up a bit, but it's still considerably looser and ****tier than either of my other cars (09 VW / 74 VW) with stock shifters and it's also worse than any other decent condition 240 shifter I've felt.

I do remember Tylor mentioning that I was missing some part from my shifter when we did the bushing swap, I think it was a cup or spacer or something meant to ensure that the bushings are pressed against the pivot ball and keep the shifter tight. I still get a good few inches of sideways travel while in gear. For first and second, I have to push the shifter into my leg and for reverse I have to scoot over a little bit. I know a short throw shifter/mod will help, but I'd rather get it all nice and tight before I go messing with stuff.

Does anybody have an exploded diagram or pictures of all of the bushing components? My cage bushings are good and the bronze bushings are all good too, but it's still sloppy. Thanks.

I think this is an M47 diagram.

Looks like it's the same bit for M46/M47 (which sounds right) and looks like I'm missing #20 if my memory serves, and maybe #35 as well.

Looks like it's time to take it apart again and see what's missing.

M47 equipped 240's used different rubber dampers after mid '91. Make sure you're getting the right ones.

-'91? part #1232605



'91?- part#3520197

Put fresh rubbers up front of the cage too. They are still avail from dealer.

it could also be at the trans mission end. the swivel ball might been warn causing slop in the pins, this happened to mine. my shifter felt great back and forth, but side to side had a couple inches of slop

It's a swapped m47 86 not factory. So that may be fun

Cage bushings are fine and I already have spares

I covered this in an earlier post..... most of the slop, aside from the obvious worn cup and pivot bushings comes from the two dowel pins in the coupler assembly (item 12).

Once you get rid of the linkage slop, and still have side-to-side slop, it's the shifter plate in the transmission, in particular the return spring that is rivited to the plate, and can only be had from Volvo with a new plate. Also replace the detent springs.
