740 GLE D-Reg Gearbox
Hi All,
I'm posting on this forum on behalf of my parents, whose much loved and still going strong (well until last week) 740 GLE needs a new gearbox - and the garage where they live cannot find one! It seems that their particular model was part of a very short run of 4-speed boxes with electronic overdrive (push button fifth gear). Does anyone know of such a box, or a specialist for this model or year who might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Phil :-)

Well, there are plenty of Volvo breakers to be found in the Driver and I am sure that they will have one, because this was not a sort run gearbox but one that was made for many years, installed in all the turbo, both petrol and diesel, as it was much stronger than the "true" 5 speed one, the one you are looking for is the M46.

A place in Denny, Scotland may have one, as he breaks late model cars as a specialty... Telephone Number 01324 - 841636 maybe worth a call??
