I'd like to hear this too - have wondered. I know college-type kids run
around in them, so I bet they're reliable. Funny how they have a 240D
designation in a Volvo, but it's not a diesel.

I've owned about 7 240s, and have never had a major breakdown or been
left stranded in one. They do not have a 240D, just a 240DL which is
the low end trim model. The diesel has the entire word diesel written
out on the trunk.

240s are a great and durable workhorse, but I'd also recommend the 7-series
Volvos, which are a great value, and have more usable space. If I had to
drive a gasser, and wasn't hip to MBs, I'd be driving either an Audi A4

Agreed, the ride of the Volvo is much more harsh than the MBZ 240D. That
harshness translates into better cornering and overall sporty feeling in
the Volvo. I have owned both and as far as fun to drive I'll take the Volvo

My guess is the usual: a bolt-on planetary gear with a solenoid

The button only engaged the 5th gear if you were in 4th. It has it's
own clutch supposedly, but always shifted a bit hard for me so I would
clutch it like any other gear - especially on ice. I recall that it
was bolted on between the transmission and the driveshaft and
