I have the engine out of the write-off car. Split the tranny off. Pretty straight forward WITH THE ENGINE OUT OF THE CAR.........
The whole time I'm thinking this is going to be a whole other kettle of fish doing this in situ with the the engine tilted.
Here are my questions:
There doesn't seem to be any mention of greasing or oiling the the drive-shaft splines. My RH one looked like it had a red anti-corrosion coating and was completely dry. The LH one had some oil on the splines.
Should I keep the drive shafts with the tranny when I move it to my car?
Volvo has a part # for the grease used on the collar where the angle gear fits onto the tranny. Anyone know what kind of grease this is?
There is no mention in the Vadis of draining the tranny before removing it, I did anyway. Don't see why not.
Valve body. I did had the valve body rebuilt on my car but it made no difference....hence the tranny change. Should I put this valve body on the donor tranny? My gut tells me to do one thing at a time.....see how this tranny goes then maybe do it later.
Am I right in thinking as these are ser #00 trannies I don't need to do the
B4 servo cover? Thought I remembered seeing that somewhere although I did it on my car same time as I did the valve body......may switch that to the donor tranny as well.
Thanks for any help.
