As originally sold, it depends on the model year, according to Volvo literature anyway.

But for your purposes, 1979 and 1980 are the same. Both M45 and M46 had the 3.91:1 rear axle and identical 1st thru 4th gear ratios.

They are, if you're interested, 3.71:1 1st gear, 2.16:1 2nd gear, 1.37:1 3rd gear, 1.00:1 4th gear and, if so equipped, 0.79:1 OD.
