Regarding your overdrive problem, I'll share my experience to date.

The OD relay is ~$50 from a dealer, and is located behind front dash. Remove glove box and reach in. HOWEVER, before you replace it, you might want to consider that the problem is the overdrive solenoid (~$230 dealer, ~$135 other than volvo) and its 2 gaskets (dime sized and slightly smaller). If the solenoid is producing more current than it is supposed to, then that current will blow out your relay and waste your $50. I've been told that the solenoid is easy to find and replace, but I've wasted this morning looking for it. The local dealer was nice enough to fax me the parts diagram of the trans, but I believe it is for the wrong vehicle (I have an '89 240 auto, and was sent parts page PV 435 59077 with the following at the top of the page "P-021884300650C US 1997-09-09-2000-11-18", which I am guessing says it is a particular drawing last revised in 1997 and printed as of today.

Good luck. I am seeking advice from anyone who may know where that danged solenoid is, specifically. Thanks in advance.
