Exchange System

Automatic transmissions are reconditioned in a central workshop in markets which operate an exchange system.

Information on all fault symptoms observed prior to replacing the unit is essential if the fault(s) are to be correctly analyzed. This information should be supplied in the form of the "Diagnostic and check list for automatic transmissions" (see below), which has been produced especially for the purpose.

Always fill in the boxes at the top. Describe all fault symptoms in plain text under the heading of "Customer complaints". Details of test drives should also be entered.

Report Placement:

Place the completed report (white page) behind the torque converter to ensure that it is not lost. Put the report in a plastic sleeve to protect it against fluid. Send the yellow page to the importer/handling center for registration. File the pink page.

Follow these instructions to facilitate fault tracing as part of reconditioning.

The foregoing applies to both warranty replacement and service replacement work.

The diagnostic and check list is available from Volvo's publications department under the following numbers:
TP 31536/1 Swedish
TP 31537/1 English
TP 31538/1 French
TP 31539/1 Spanish
TP 31540/1 German
TP 31541/1 Dutch
TP 31542/1 Italian
