89 740 gle 16 valve 5 speed info needed 700 1989

The 1041 is the heavy duty version of Volvo's Dana rear end with the Eaton locker. The 3.73 ratio is very common and found in 700/900 turbo wagons and sedans from 1991 on. Your 1989 car should have a 48 tooth tone ring, as all later 700/900 cars do. 1987-88 700s with ABS have a 96 tooth tone ring, and it is a lot of work to get the speedometer to work correctly if a 48 tooth tone ring rear end is installed.

See the picture, from the 700/900 FAQ for the axle identification tag.
