MikeRL411 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Tracking off my earlier discovery courtesy of my dealer that the 1979 Volvo 144 used the identical British transmission I went to RockAuto and summoned up the Volvo pages. I bought the last RGS7 [gaskets and soft parts only] and one of several RM5(RM-5) complete hard and soft parts kits. Also a closeout on the pan gasket G69(G69:P). Should be enough to last me another 48 years! I just realized that today is the 47th "anniversary" of my buying my RL411. REMEMBER fits both RL411 and first production runs of PL510 sedan and wagon. Later 510 versions had the Muncie Indiana units. The key is British "Without modulator" Muncie "With modulator" If you go search on RockAuto for these parts under 510, you only get Muncie parts.

MikeRL411 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Parts started arriving today! Pan gaskets are spot on! Soft parts rebuild package looks also spot on! When I get the complete hard and soft parts rebuild kit I will post the manufacturer's ID, Address and Site ID so that we all can bypass the middle men and stock up on these future repair parts before the manufacturer gets tired of supplying one off lots to retailers. Hard and soft parts kit due March 17th, Slainte Geal!!!! Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 NOTE! Hard parts kit does not include bands. I contacted the manufacturer today. Response was "None of our kits include the bands. If the friction material on the bands is in good condition they can be reused. We no longer have the bands availablt for this transmission."
