I tried to say the same thing in the tramissions thread, if a Getrag/T5 transmission can be put behind a gasser M46 bellhousing, you can do it in the diesel too.

I'll have to look back at the post you put up before Cuaz, I thought you had some links to places with adapters for m46 to t5. That would be easier to find around here, lots of mustangs to pick from, no volvos!

just buy an 22splines sachs 6 puck lammel and use orginal pressureplate

What is the original application for that clutch? I was looking at clutchnet.com and was thinking the 6 puck for the turbo 4 cylinder model with the turbo diesel pressure plate. I figure since they use the TD pressure plate I should be able to use the 6 puck thats for the 4cyl turbo model with m46. We may be talking about the same plate.

gas and diesel has different pressure plates. but orginal should do it. i drive with orginal pressure plate and reinforced 6 puck but it demands al lot of practice to learn 6 puck clutch

[Jason]

I planned to use the diesel pressure plate. I have heard the gas 4 cyl turbo guys have used the diesel pressure plate as an upgrade, so I'm assuming I can go backwards and use a clutch disc thats sold for their car on the diesel. No one over here lists a performance clutch to fit a D24T!
