wheelsup Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Anyone know if other AW50-42LE trannies from other cars (say SAAB) have internal parts that are interchangeable with the AW50-42LE tranny in my 95 850?For example can I buy a low mileage SAAB AW50-42LE transmission and open up the case and take the internals out and put them in my tranny and reinstall on my 850?I've never taken a tranny apart before (or even removed it from the car) but I was just wondering if it was possible. Or are the AW50-42LE's on our Volvos, Volvo-specific with Volvo-specific parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I would bet lots of money that no other transmission has many, if any substantial parts that can be changed. I'll sell you my auto for $50 if you can arrange shipping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keaton85 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Most of the parts should be interchangeable as it's not volvo specific. Both Saab and Daewoo used this tranny...As for bother? not worth it unless you know what you are doing!Anyway, I'm also in the search for auto trannys on the cheap AKA toasted.

It think the torque convertor housing on a Saab is different, and they all use a different electrical connection to the transmission control computer.

Keaton85 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Yeah, the housings are totally different. The valve body cover on the Saab is not a thin piece of metal like the Volvo ones. And the PNP switches on the Saabs look very cheap!Next time someone rags on Saabs and you wanna join in, just remember they share this tranny. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
