Just to clarify, yes, I know the obvious solution would be the manual gearbox that was originally fitted to the 164, but those are virtually unobtainable on this side of the Atlantic. North American drivers overwhelmingly chose auto boxes back then (not much better today), especially in luxury models, so that was almost all that Volvo sent over. I drove the only 4sp+OD I've ever seen. Wish I still had the drivetrain right now! The whole car, for that matter....
