hey guys, some of you may have seen my post on I roll Volvo but I thought I would check in here too
I recently got a new aw71 to replace my blown box.
the aw71 I got came with a converter.
the converter is substantially larger than my old one.
I've tried researching online and information is all over the place.
from what I've read the larger converter is a lock up converter but there's no confirmation of that
the new aw71 has a tag and says aw71 not aw71L
I've read mixed things
some people say the lock up converter snout is physically larger and will not fit into a aw71
other say it will fit but won't work at all
and others say it will fit and work fine but won't lock up cause internally the box isn't a lock up box.
so I have no idea what to believe is true haha
the converter fit into the box fine and everything bolted up no issues at all the box is in the car ready to be started tomorrow so I guess we will see what happens but I'm hopeful someone could shed some more light on what's going on, whether it is or isn't a lock up converter and whether or not it will work.
it is the converter that came in the box and everything points to it being fine but I really don't know.
pics below are the 2 different converters
small is my old aw71
large is the new aw71
