General Motors Transmission

Yes, that is correct. ALL S80's (2.9/ T6) and XC90-T6 have a general motors "Hydr-O-Matic" transmission. It is a 4-Speed and cannot handle the tremendous torque produced by the linear 6-cylinder engines that Volvo produces. The whole product line is doomed beyond this point....
Oh well, i always felt that the Volvo was a great value for the money.... Staying with the Benz-

Oh, and while im on the topic of quality- I cant say i have had much trouble at all with my Benz collection, EVER-
