Just picked up this '88 240 wagon yesterday. Excited to fix her up and be a member of the community.

It's the 4-speed auto. The OD is currently not working (i think it needs a new solenoid) so that's on my list of projects as well as fixing the A/C.

Good luck with it. Some say that the 88 is one of the best years. It's past the brittle wiring harness's and before it gets to complicated. Brickboard.com has a great FAQ section for 740 and 940's. Lucky for us 240's owners they are basically the same vehicle.

Great cars, easy to work on.

Thanks, it seems like there are a ton of great resources in the Volvo community and so far it is about 100X easier to work on than my BMW, so I'm enjoying it.
