    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
