Description

This cast-aluminum overdrive solenoid bypass kit will cure a common problem that exists with Volvo automatic transmission of the rear wheel drive models Volvo 240 740 940. Kit includes aluminum solenoid substitute plate, gasket and 2 mounting bolts. This is a properly designed and built part. You have nothing to worry about, just install and go! The design of the part has been improved with one seal and exposed fluid passage area to prevent any possible clogging by the metals shavings . It is original design for AW transmission without overdrive function . below is the description of the problem that you will be able to correct with the installation of this part PROBLEM: The engine revs are high and the car is drive-able. BUT the transmission will not come out of Overdrive (3rd gear). It feels like the car is stuck in low gear at speed. The transmission normally shifts through the gears 1-2-3-4. When you push the overdrive button in your car, transmission shifts back to -3- gear, by closing the OVERDRIVE solenoid and restricting the flow of fluid, and shifting the band inside of the transmission. If the car transmission solenoid (overdrive) is restricted - cars only shifts to 1-2-3 - when you install the block plate you will be able to shift through all the gears 1-2-3-4 This condition is caused by the overdrive solenoid, that has gotten contaminated with the metal shavings particles from automatic transmission fluid. Fluid is passing through the solenoid when the overdrive is not activated ( port is open) and the metal shavings that are present in the fluid are building up around the magnet of the solenoid, preventing it from moving permanently. The particles are very fine, so there is no way to clean out the solenoid - a replacement should be purchased and installed. The dilemma with the replacement part: it may come at the cost between $86 and $186, but there is a PROBLEM WITH SIMPLY REPLACING THE SOLENOID: This NEW solenoid, that you may purchase will get contaminated by the metal particles that are still in the transmission within 100 miles of driving or less. That means: the transmission will stop functioning again. UNLESS YOU ARE COMPLETELY RE-CONDITIONING THE TRANSMISSION FOR YOUR RWD VOLVO, YOU SHOULD GET A SOLENOID BLOCK OFF PLATE FROM US PLEASE NOTE- THE SOLENOID BLOCK OFF PLATE REMOVES THE OVERDRIVE FUNCTION FROM YOUR TRANSMISSION PERMANENTLY SO if you are willing to drive without the OVERDRIVE function - we have permanent solution. Replace the overdrive solenoid with the blocking plate as pictured . The cast aluminum OE AW blocking plate that we are offering is properly designed for the particular application and ready for the installation. It includes a properly fitted gasket and two installation bolts. Just remove 2 bolts that are holding the existing solenoid in place and install solenoid backing plate in its place. 1239928 Let’s make this a smooth transaction! 1.
