Re: Anyone ever use a Torsen (Torque Sensing) rear? 200 89

Depends on the speedo. The electronic ones are driven from the axle. There are two types of sensors. If you swap axles, get the right sensor. If mechanical, it is driven from the trans. The calibration is in the speedo. Swap in the right speedo. Since Volvo used a variety of ratios, you should be able to find what you want OEM. If you are doing something more radical, you will have to research more.

There are some devices for domestic cars that adjust electronic and or mechanical sender output to compensate for ratio changes. Check the ads in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords and call the advertisers for more info. Maybe one of these would work on a Volvo. Maybe.
