Source for 940 Overdrive Solenoid? 1993 940 Turbo Wagon

Post by **Eddystone** » 05 Jan 2024, 13:57

Hi,

1993 940 Turbo Wagon

I don't need to discuss whether or not my overdrive solenoid is bad. I've had it disabled for a long time so that OD is always available. Now I am thinking of fixing it so that I can tow again without OD.

Just assuming my solenoid is bad, is there anyplace where you can buy one of these new regardless of price or source?

I can't find these anywhere on the net, but I assume that since the AW71 was widely used in other cars they should be available. Maybe for a Toyota or something.

Thanks for any advice.

IPDUSA has new aftermarket overdrive solenoids for sale periodically. I just bought one today (9/19/24 - 9 months after your post). It's a hit and miss deal - you have to keep checking back. Two weeks ago, they were out of stock. Today, they had 2. I bought one. I know a lot of folks swear by the cost savings and effectiveness of the bypass kit, but I want full functionality. It was $107+ tax/cheap shipping. IDPUSA has been a reliable source for me in the past.
