I'm assuming you are talking about a petrol engine yes? the diesel was not a 1600 it was a 1900 and that was renault ..
The 1600 petrol in the S/V40 was a low capacity version of the volvo 1800 and 2 litre engine which is a 4 cylinder version of the famous 5 cylinder , no 1600 petrol Renault engines were ever used by volvo ..."everybody" must be misinformed !
the gearbox you talk of was a very robust one from the 240 bhp volvo 850 but the 1600 and older versions used a renault gearbox .
