Play in the gear lever and a selector that won't settle into the right position rarely comes from the AW71 box itself – usually worn bushings and tired springs in the control are the culprit. When the lever develops play you can end up between positions, and then the back-up lamps or starter inhibitor don't always engage as they should.

This category covers control parts for the Volvo 240 with the AW71 automatic transmission up to 1990. The group includes bushings and insulators that take up the play, springs and lock brackets that hold the selector in place, plus levers, screw and nut for the mounting. The gear shift lever knob also belongs here for anyone wanting to freshen up the shift area.
A common check during a rebuild is to replace all the bushings in the linkage at once and verify that the return spring can pull the lever back – then shifting feels tight and precise again.
