I am lucky enough that my dad has been rebuilding Transmissions for 40+ years and owns his own Transmission shop. So I only have to pay for parts. I did find out that volvo parts are either
A.a SOB to find
B.priced at stupid high prices
C.most likely hard to find at even stupider higher prices. (Yes I said stupider)
I am only into the whole trans and O/D rebuild $300. That includes a dumb $130 bearing in the O/D that I probably didn't need but I bought out of self insurance that the trans wont go out for a long time!!!!
The shifter mods are totally free since I had everything laying around. I will be using a different shift knob. I think I will be putting the O/D switch down near the E-brake handle since I have 2 open spots and down there.
