Volvo AW70 Series Transmissions
The AW70 was a 4 speed fully automatic transmission used in the Volvo 240, 740 and 940 series cars starting from 1982 up to 1997 with the end of production of the 940. From the 1989 model year a lock-up torque converter was offered which changed the designation to AW70L. Was originally used in the US specification 1982 Volvo 240 with the B21F engine, as well as in 1983 with the B23F engine. Did not see worldwide usage until 1984 in certain 240 series cars. Some of the 1985-87 B230F-equipped 740's came with a ZF-made gearbox (designated by a gearshift labeled "P R N D 3 2 1"). The AW70 (gearshift labeled "P R N D 2 1" with a side-mounted overdrive lockout) is widely considered significantly more reliable than the ZF transmission.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
