Gear box details Volvo 240/260 (BW55)

Slipping shifts, delayed engagement and discolored fluid are classic signs that the clutch packs in the three-speed BW55 automatic are getting tired. During a rebuild it is the internal parts that determine the result – not least seals and friction discs that have hardened over the years behind the B21 or B23 engine in a 240.

This category gathers wear parts for the BW55 box in the Volvo 240/260. The group includes disc sets and spring kits for the clutch packs, pistons with matching piston rings, o-rings for the hydraulics, plus bearing washers, brake hub and screw. Together these families cover the most common check points when the box is opened for an overhaul.

A typical check point is to replace o-rings and piston rings at the same time as the disc sets, since leaking seals cause lost hydraulic pressure and therefore slipping. Combining a spring kit and bearing washer in the same job gives smoother and more reliable shifting afterward.
