However that said, I disturbed the gearshift linkage bushes on my C304 and they fell apart with aged material, Volvo could not supply the bushes. The material has time limited life, looses strength and elasticity with age. I have replaced the gear shift linkage bushes on my C300 series with firstly hand made items using a polyurethane suspension bush ground out to suit This was a bit of mucking around and I finished off doing it by hand with an aggressive ball type die grinder cutting head to get the internal shape. In the end it liked a bit funny but has worked well. The fit needs to be such that the ball will not come out without considerable force once all is assembled. It also needs to be snug and free to rotate in the bush. The bush needs to be made such that it will stay in its housing too. I also have a 1995 VW Transporter. The gear linkage bushes died in this and some of them turned out to be the same as the Volvo (functionally identical material and shape made by VW) So I ended up with my handmade bush in the VW (due to the need to have this car going) and the VW bushes in the Volvo. So, If you cannot get genuine bits there are some options. It would not surprise me if the C200 series had similar bushes to the C300 series Any way, that is my experience with the C300 series gearshift bushes.

I have scanned the appropriate page from the parts manual and p-mailed it to you. It is two .bmp files about 1mb each. Let me know if you have any trouble viewing them. It look like the bushing you want is number 5. It shows a civilian number of 631103. I looked that number up on a Volvo Cars pricing fiche from 1996 or so and it was not listed, which leads me to believe that the part was unfortunately not shared with any of their cars. The mil number is F7050-631103. I have never dealt with them, but I have heard that Altyco is a good source of parts for the Valp.

Willem-Jan, I have had some difficulty accessing some parts (termed "military" parts). Even some parts that have shown up as in stock overseas Volvo Australia have pointblank refused to sell to me. It is a very very sore point at the moment. I need the high speed syncro gear in the transfer case and Volvo Aust recon that non exist anywhere world wide. I have trouble believing that Volvo hold no significant transmission parts (main gearbox or transfer case) anywhere in the work. Does any one have contacts that may help here - either with parts for, or with complete low mileage as new gearbox and transfer case for a C300 series Best not to get me started here!

There have been some questions regarding part sourcing. Here are some information that might be useful. I hope you are able to use these instructions as I am not certain that you will see the Swedish characters in this mail. Regarding used parts: There is a scrap yard just south of Gothenburg in Sweden that bought demolished TGB:s some years ago and sells parts from these. You have to compare prices as I sometimes feel that they can be a bit expensive. I do not know if they export parts. Anyhow, it is possible to search for parts. The web-site is in Swedish, so a Swedish-English dictionary can be useful as the one they have at http://www-lexikon.nada.kth.se/skolverket/swe-eng.shtml The website is http://www.fjaras.bildelsbasen.se/ Press on the picture at the right on the website with the text "Sök bildelar I vårt lager" When searching for a gearbox=växellåda to a TGB 11, do following: Choose: 1. Manufacturer: Volvo 2. Model: Volvo Övriga / Others (last row in the list) 3. Delgrupp : Växellåda / Gearbox 4. Undergrupp : Växellåda 5. Del (part): Växellåda 6. Press "Sök Delar" (search parts) 7. Now you will see a list with available gearboxes with lagernummer / storage identification number Regarding new parts: Volvo Trucks in Sweden are selling some new parts. They have a website where you can find out if they have what you want. You need the partnumber / artikelnummer for the search. The website is http://www.volvotruckcenter.se When searching for parts, do the following: 1. Press "Butiken" at the top of the page 2. You have to log in as namn/username:demo and lösenord/password:demo at the bottom of the page 3. Press the link "HANDLA" (in a blue arrow) 4. Press the link "Sök i Volvo Orginaldels Katalog" 5. Type the part number (Artikelnummer) and press "Sök" (search). You will get some short info in Swedish about the part name, if found, and if it has been replaced by another part. The price information will only be presented if you get an account. I think that this can be used to get verification if the part is available or not. The next step is to buy the part. But again, I do not know if they export parts. You have to ask.

They list all the parts they have in stock. Most of the parts is only stocked for the Swedish Army. I have tryed to by several C300 series parts from Volvo and mostly the parts is not for sale to civilians. Like the repair kit (272707) for the Vacuum brake cylinder. You find it on the list-they have it in stock-you get the price-then they tell you it is only stocked for the Army. You can still find some parts you can buy, but not many.

Has this always been the case, if you can remember/experience long enough, back into the early days? Or is this just a limitation to cope with decreasing stock? (eaten away by users of military surplus vehicles....;)) Or: do original civil/industrial/emergency users face the same situation currently? Surely not back then I would assume.... I ask this because I have learned that in particular these firefighters often seem to have a surprising second life, as....firefighter, at a different Swedish firestation (which also increases market price, sadly). And that second service-life wouldn't make sense unless those firestations have either their own stack of spareparts (and either want to make use of it with another vehicle, or worn-out/crashed their first unit), *or* they can still order parts. OTOH2: wasn't the gearbox a ZF-unit? Wouldn't ZF themselves have the parts? What if you sent a worn box to ZF for overhaul? (do they handle overhauls in-house at all?) -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] To: From: "MATS BERGVALL" Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2005 11:28:49 +0100 Subject: Re: [Volvo303] VB: Part sourcing in Sweden Reply-To: Volvo303@yahoogroups.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Willem-Jan Markerink Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2005 4:00 AM > On 2 Jan 2005 at 0:46, MATS BERGVALL wrote: > >> About the new parts at www.volvotruckcenter.se.

Most of the C 300 parts seems to be stocked at Volvo in Gent(even the parts for the army!!) Have not tried to contact Volvo in Gent about parts.

The shift linkage bushes go soft with age and fall to bits eventually. They can be replaced with 1995 - 2000 VW transporter gear shift linkage bushes (the larger VW one is a perfect fit - as there are two sizes on the VW) These are the bushes that have a ball joint - and are not just a cylindrical bush John http://www.c303.de/c303-forum/index.php?board=36;action=display;threadid=9020;start=msg62025#msg62025 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Maarten Re:Problems with clutch and/or gearbox « Antwort #20 am: Gestern um 20:24:07 » Antwort mit Zitat nach oben picked up the VW bushings today.
