I must replace SL Solenoid pn 3515644-7 in my AW30/40 transmission. I understand that Toyota uses the same transmission (known in Toyotian as A341E).

*Parsed from http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=775587

"The transmission Volvo refers to as AW30/40 is an Aisin Warner Transmission also used by Toyota. Toyota refers to it as A341E. It was used on the 90-94 Lexus LS400, 91-97 Toyota Supra Turbo (not NA), Toyota Previa supercharged."

- Would it not therefore use the same SL Solenoid as my '93 960? If so, can anybody tell me the exact part number? I ask this because Toyota sez that there are EIGHT different solenoids to choose from (which P/N it is depends upon model year) ranging from $180 to $225. This $$$ range is far more palatable than the $300+ the Volvo dealer quotes...


*Parsed from same http:

"Volvo uses a goo because it doesn't believe in fluid flushed or changing the trasmission filter which is a bunch of bs. I went to NAPA auto parts and asked for a transmission filter kit for the LS400. It includes a real rubber gasket. You do not need the goo. Just have to scrape it off the bottom of the transmission and the trans pan. The whole kit including filter and gasket cost less than $30."

- I will also have the Toyota filter and gasket installed...

- Also, while the pan is off ought I have a serious transmission cooler installed to keep this SL 'noid from toasting again?

Thanks for anything youse guys can tell me.
