wheelsup Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 So the Volvo shop manual that was posted on MVS shows the 850 having the AW50-42LE tranny BUT some of these tranny overhaul places selling kits list it as the AW50-40.Anyone know why the difference? What tranny is it?http://www.transtec.com/selector_guide/Volvo.htmhttp://www.drivetrain.com/autotranscrossref.html#VOLVOI'm trying to find what other cars have our tranny to see if I can bolt on another tranny from say a Saab 9-3 with lower miles since our 850 trannys used off ebay are pretty high mileage. Thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost me...the 1995 850 has the AW50-42LEOk thanks!You wouldn't happen to know if ANY AW50-42LE will work or is it a Volvo 850 specific case around the internals?

Hoosier Daddy Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 take a look at this link:http://www.google.com/base/a/2312793/D5127087234921116082it does mention some saab models using the same tranny. doubt they would machine up a whole new housing for it.

Also I had the same thought that it was the same casing, although I don't know about the actual TCU controls etc. I'm trying to find a AW contact to see if I can get someone there to explain my issue to. I just don't trust local tranny shops they just want to sell you rebuilt trannys for $3k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
