jimmy57 I have two transmissions here I can try to replace. I just tested them by hand and they seem to work except for reverse I cannot check. That is a 10% test I know, but at least I know that park works and that the shifter works. The warrantee'd one that Reman Co, sold me was a dud and dint wor...

I poked around youtube.

That is good news thanks. Do you know of any videos for sale that has detail AW70/71/72 rebuild instructions or paper documentation. Really difficult to find any documentation.

I know of course to find a similar oil, but my question is about full synthetics. Regarding engine O...

Bump what where ?, sorry I dont understand the answer.

Before I remove the transmission to remove the torque converter, 1) anyone know of videos how to remove the 940 transmission. I never removed a volvo transmission, but I removed other transmissions. I want to avoid dumb mistakes. Youtube has none for the 940. 2) Otherwise failing the above, any advi...

jimmy57, right on the money thanks. It turned out to be exactly an M10 x 1.25 Went to Autozone and Advance Auto, They have any sump bolt available except .. you guessed it .. M10 x 1.25 So I ent to home depot, go two M10x1.25 bolts. The bolt had casted spines on the inside surface which would not wo...
