So I?ve got a 1990 760 turbo wagon with an aw71 transmission. I?m slowly doing upgrades here and there, things that can be carried over to a bigger turbo eventually. I?ve got a 15g sitting in my spare room waiting for a rebuild to be put on. Anyways, like any enthusiast would do, I?m wanting to pull off the accumulator mod. Seeing as this is my first automatic volvo, I went to my local junkyard that I know has a 94 940 NA sitting in the yard with an automatic! I know this because the g80 I installed was pulled from that car . So I managed to drop the pan, and remove the valve body. Hell, I even got all 3 pistons out and found a perfect jack handle to fit between the two bigger springs. My only concern with the whole procedure is the kickdown spool inside the valve body. At the yard, I simply left it bolted on to the valve body and let the VB just hand from the cable. Taking that peice off and reassembling it correctly is intimidating to me for some reason, so would it harm anything to just leave the kickdown cable spool attached to the valve body, and just put something underneath to support the weight? Or would doing this damage something or throw the cable out of whack? This car is my daily driver and living paycheck to paycheck for the most part, I want to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Other than the kickdown cable (which is probably extremely simple, I?m just psyching myself out) this job seems pretty straight forward. Any other tips would be appreciated! And I?m obviously planning on doing this with the transmission still installed. In the yard it was fairly simple with it installed, all bolts were easily accessible. Thanks in advanced
