Volvo stopped using the LayCock overdrive in the mid 70s. Newer model Volvos used there own transmition, or possibly a Getrag or ZF model as many other European cars do.

So in short, undless the whole tranny can be brought over to the alpine, it a lost cause.

I was eying the panhard rod from an older (80s) volvo, looked like it might work well in an alpine.
