Hey Barney, It is a 5 cyclinder turbo with asian warner transmission (not a T-6with a GM trannie) the T-6 are the ones with problem transmissions. Plus my husband is a Volvo Master Tech. I did have to replace the bevel gear but it was under the extended warrenty. My husband doesn't let me go cross country like I would like to LOL ala through the field a time or two. We live out in the country in the middle of my Daddy's 26 acres so it gets tempting when and if we get snow, he say NO NO. Plus I am one of those people who can not stand for anything broken on my car
. I got that from my Dad lol.
