I had this done once, not a Volvo, many years ago and the repairs cost a few hundred pounds.

If your 740 has the ZF transmission, which is perceived as fragile due to the fact it is easy to abuse it, then it may be possible to get it replaced with the AW transmission which is generally perceived as fairly tough. Details here.

I've deliberately chosen my wording carefully since each transmission has its fans and the only one I've been responsible for destroying personally was an AW71.

Good luck getting it sorted out.

Hi interesting and honest comments from forest. And as another chap said the ZF was common in the diesel autos same as my car .I have just past 304000 miles in my turbo diesel I have not abused my car at all in last 24 years so its served me well
