FYI, the same tranny is used on all of the FWD 850s and up to 2000 70-series. (Not sure about the later 70-series and current 60-series.) I'm at 58k and haven't had any reliability problems. But I'd advise driving the car extensively before purchase, as the FWD Volvo tranny and clutch do not drive like other cars you might be used to. Very different clutch pedal feel and response than all of the Hondas, Mazdas and the few RWD European cars that I've driven. In short, you might not care for the way this clutch feels. At best, I call it "tolerable."
