I am about to replace the automatic transmission with an M410 with OD in my 1970 Marcos 3LV and would like to know if the plate on the frame that the shift lever mounts, to has to be removed? Also, where  does the slave cylender mount for the through lever?

Hi Larry,
There is no mount on the frame for the manual shift lever. The 3LV Marcos has a modified gear box cover/extension which is different from the standard Volvo item. I don't recall the exact alteration but it essentially positions the gearstick in the correct place in the transmission tunnel. In the 3 LV Marcos, the gearstick has a rubber boot, is free floating and is positioned in the centre of a leather covered fibreglass tray over the transmission tunnel.
The clutch slave cylinder mounts on the bottom left side of the bell housing. There should be 2 bolt holes adjacent to the clutch thrust lever. Unfortunately, the clutch slave cylinder is just about the lowest point of the engine/transmission so it would be worthwhile protecting it with a skid plate. I've already had mine sheared off the bell housing once and I had to remove the engine and gearbox in order to have it welded back in place.
If you have any specific questions, please get back to me. If I have to look things up in past magazines, answers would have to wait until I go home on the weekend.
Regards,
Paul Dransfield

Is there anyone out there that has an extra interior mirror for the Marcos 3L Volvo?
