I have an AW71 out of a 1990 780 Bertone, if you're interested. I was told it had less than 40k on it.
To find out what tranny fits your car call or visit you local Volvo dealer's parts department and they tell you from your VIN or from their parts computer. Ask them for the Volvo part number and not just whether its an AW70 or AW71.
You can write me at wkowsh@yahoo.com with the info and I'll take a look at the tranny I have. I also have the V6 engine that it came off of, if you're interested in swapping out your 4 banger for a six?
You can also ask your Volvo dealer what they price is on a reconditioned tranny for your car. From what I've been told the swing in and out is easy if you have an electric or hydrallic lift, but just remember to inspect your engine's flywheel for any flaws, and of course replace the engine's rear main seal since you have the tranny off.
Tranny shops in my area have quoted me between $1200 - $1500 to rebuild my daughter;'s 99 Buick Regal's transmission, and I suspect they'll charge the same for the 700 Volvo eventhough it RWD and not FWD like the Regal. You can negotiate longer warranty coverage with them, or as usually for the holiday period a lower price since everyone spends money on Christmas and not on fixing their car.
