Hi Jim,

Yep. I guess I take it a little personally since that's where I started, when actually paid to repair these cars is exhaust and suspension.

In the 1980s, Volvo used a another vendor to make a 240 strut mount with a sealed bearing, and not the open to the top, yet covered by the dust cap, much like Meyle makes now, if not the whole lot of after market. Oh, they sucked.

So, I take it a (too?) personally. I don't have a signal generator with oscilloscope to trace circuits. So, the dirty, rusty, greasy, road grimey crap under these cars is sort of what I'm about. And folks not being able to buy quality strut mounts for 240 is sort of a safety issue. I get up in Volvo Cars AB face on their facebook postings about it occasionally. Jousting at Chinese-Swedish windmills.

I have read posts here that components for early overhead valve redblock-era manual transmission parts have sucked and don't work.

So I gyrate the M47 IIs gently. Third gear wind up feels good, yet bad for M47 II with the aluminum alloy case flex, so I read.

Sorry.

Mac and Duff.
