Help - leaking tranny - 84 249 GLE

[XYZ]

Hi all,

My beast has the 4sp OD auto tranny, and the bush in the back of the
extension housing has gone. It is leaking a lot. I am told you cannot
simply buy the bush, (rare as apparently,) and u need to buy the housing.
Either that or a couple of hundred Aussie to sort it and a new uni in the
tailshaft.

Has anyone eles had this problem?

Cheers, and thanks,

Paul

Or you should be able to grab the bushing, seal and housing gasket from
your dealer. If he's the one that told you that you couldn't get the
bushing, then give him this part number: 235878. It's pretty expensive
from the dealer, it would be better if you could order it someplace
else. And yes, it's very common.

Thanks for this link James. I think I am going to contribute to Australia's
trade deficit, even though I would prefer to buy local.

Uni joints on this link are $8.00US, or $16.99 at OEM. They are $99 Aussie
from Volvo here. Even with air freight, they are a fraction of the price.

Thanks again,

Paul
