I just pulled my pan off for maintenance, and the parts i bought do not fit! is this a
AW7X?



my car is a 1992 volvo 940 gl.
transmission pan has 14 bolts

 

this is the part they say i need. but it is wrong! the gasket is right, but the filter is not

 

Wow turns out this transmission is from a twin turbo supra. WHAT THE HECK. looks like i wont be driving my car tomorrow. my tranny is apart and no one has the correct part in stock..

Part Number: T179
Alternate Part Number: TF119

 

So you got the wrong filter, happens all the time! Just wash out the old filter with some solvent and put it back--all it is is a screen. Or you can go search for another filter if you must. The transmission you have is a AW70 or AW71L, at least should be... And, yes, the same Japanese transmission was used in the old RWD Toyota Supras, Cressidas, etc.

 

There is an ID plate on the side of the tranny. Remember I mentioned your tranny looked like it had been removed/SWAPPED recently....


AW70 is for non turbo. AW71 is for Turbo. Highly doubt there is much difference down there between the two, though.

Yeah Toyotas used the same tranny. Maybe look for Toyota parts suppliers if you are that desperate. Otherwise, yeah, your old one shouldn't even have been bad enough to need changing. Re-use.

 

unfortunately, transmission filters, gaskets wont work for a aw70 or aw71 The gaskets fell apart when i removed the transmission filter. so i cant put it back together. and there are 2... a plate thing comes out when the filter comes out, and there is a gasket on either side. no one had the correct part in stock. its a special order everywhere. Anyone know if there is a transmission ID tag or something? it looks like a
A43D transmission.

 

Gasket hoes on both sides

 

yep. lesson learned hard way about removing stuff before confirming your replacements fit exactly. We all forget to do it sometimes.

Ooh thanks for the pic with the ID tag location!! I'll check it tomorrow. Too frustrated tonight.

Here is my filter on the left, aw70/aw71 filter on the right.



I did some more digging, looks like the previous owner got this tranny from a turbo volvo. I wonder if the engine is from a turbo also? Hmmm.

 

Everyone loves pictures







New kick down cable

 

Well here it is. Just so everyone can find it. This is the only kit I can find that comes with BOTH filter base gaskets.

the volvo turbo uses a AW71 which is a heavy duty version of the AW70. the two are completely interchangable. AW is Aisin Warner, which is Toyota's tranny group.

if it was a Volvo transmission, it should have had a sticker on this side, same as the one revolv pasted:



maybe it does, under all that grease?

 

oh and congratulations on getting your dipstick off. How'd that go?

Kickdown cable install going ok?

 

revolv, i noticed that last night when i went back to check my pictures after you posted the one with the ID tag location. easy to see when you know what its supposed to look like!! Just glad its there. im going to check it.
