A couple of more jobs for the list. Going to fit a set of 4.11 gears in our LSD. At present we have 3.91.
Also we had moved the overdrive switch to the dash from the slide switch on top of shifter as hard with gloves to slide the switch. We only use overdrive at a couple of tracks and at the last meeting I was having to take hand off wheel and glance to find switch entering the fastest corner on the track which I found less than ideal.
At present considering using a clock spring arrangement to get a paddle shift or even 2 switches mounted on Momo steering wheel hub to select overdrive and run the later overdrive relay arrangement instead off the earlier version.
The ultimate - Works drive setup but way too pricey for this task
Or more likely this route
Or the stock later model Volvo knob with the button would also work. We already have a wiring harness and relay for it.
Bit still to ponder before we decide on solution
If you want a quick solution for the overdrive button, use a 245 wiper stalk and wire the o/d into the wash button on the end. I did this to one of my 240's and it worked great. I did have to go to the '81 and up relay setup though, as it is a momentary switch.
