I haven't driven a 960 with a manual trans, so I don't know how it compares... It feels lighter than a standard 240 clutch, though. But then I have only driven 240's with cable clutches...
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!

Thank you for being a part of our community!
Second, the AW71 had a bracket on the rear of the fluid pan that secured the exhaust pipe via a welded-on bracket on the exhaust pipe.
Should I rig up something to secure the exhaust pipe? I don't know what the M46/M47 cars use, if anything.
I've got the double ended bellhousing bolt on my 940. I think you need something on there to hold the downpipe. Without the clamp you can rotate the downpipe quite easily in on the turbo flange, making the exhaust hit to body or touch the bellhousing.
Vadis shows the same part number (for the double-ended bolt) as for an M46...1346591.

I had a look on my Vadis disc and they don't list the rear section of the propshaft seperately. I would have thought that if the splines are the same they are probably the same bit. The distance from the bearing carrier to the diff flange should be the same.
I had a ZF auto in my car and the propshaft rear end looked the same. I was going to swap the front ends over but that would have probably affected the balancing and way the splines had worn.
Thanks for checking. Do you mean the ZF front prop is the same length as the M90 front prop? The AW71 front prop is shorter than the M90 front prop which is why I sourced the M90 front prop from Foggyjames.
I also looked that up and was going to post it. But since you did it, I didn't bother to repeat it.I had a look on my Vadis disc and they don't list the rear section of the propshaft seperately.

I think it is strange that they don't list the part numbers for the separate rear and front shafts.
But anyway... the AW71L rear shaft is the same as the M90 rear shaft. I have seen it several times.
Oh... I think I have got why you are having problems.
Please tell me exactly (in the order from gearbox to diff) what components you have.
Let me give you an example of my 940:
Gearbox
Output shaft with tri-arm
Rubber hardy disc
Shaft tri-arm
Shaft
Splines
Joint
Shaft
Joint
Flange yoke
Diff
On other applications/cars it may look like this:
Gearbox
Output shaft with flange
Flange yoke
Shaft
Splines
Joint
Shaft
Joint
Flange yoke
Diff
Some have a rubber hardy disc, and some don't.
There are also other setups that can work with the M90, but please tell me exactly what your setup is and I will tell you if it is right or not.
I aqm starting to suspect some stuff based on the fact that you say that the shaft is very compressed.
However, the shaft is very compressed on the M90 cars. And 9 times out of 10 it is almost impossible to get the shaft up/down from the gearbox output shaft. So that is something you should never worry about.
