Hello Steph. I posted a help note for Volvo overdrives last week.
Did not get much help. So I took it on my own. I had purchased a Volvo
overdrive transmission at Carlisle, PA. Flea Market. A few weeks ago. From a
DL 240 (1980s something). Asked around at the flea market and got some
answers but nothing anyone committed to. Not even the guy from Conn. Who
rebuilds these trannys for a living.
Well, I have a job at the house to covert a 4 speed to overdrive. No
big deal. His OD is working fine, But the transmission half has seen better
days. I have his OD tranny out of his 73 TR-6. Pulled the overdrive unit
off.
On the Volvo unit. I fitted the drive shaft flange from the 6. Fits
fine. I fitted the speedo unit into the Volvo unit. It also fitted fine. Then
I install the overdrive unit from the Volvo onto the TR-6 OD tranny. It when
right on. About as easy a TR-6 unit will fit. The Volvo unit has different
serial numbers on the plate. I think that just telling you what car it was
fitted to.
