Hi, again, Chuck!

Rats -- I didn't know when it was that Volvo changed the dash layout. I thought it was before 1980. Maybe it was when they went to the rectangular headlights... So...sorry I can't help you any more about the speedo/cable problem.

About that trans -- I've never driven an M45, but I did drive an M40 half-way across the midwest in a doomed '68 142, and my ears were ringing for two days afterwards. The M46 (Laycock overdrive-equipped M45), of which I've had three, have all been quiet -- especially in o.d.

Maybe draining the trans lube and putting in some Redline MTL or the Amsoil equivalent might quiet things down.

Sorry I couldn't be more productive with answers.

Rob
