are volvo trannys exactly the same as toyotas?

i read somewhere that some of the early model volvos have the same trannys as early model toyota pickups and supras..is this true? i mean when my tranny kicks the bucket could i do a swap without any major modifications?

I havent a clue. But with so many donor cars why would you bother.

Cressidas, supras, celicas, sc300s, pickups......

I have a feeling yes because when I ordered a filter kit for my 4spd auto it listed a few Volvo trans also. Too bad I threw the package away after I serviced the tranny.

There are similarities between a lot of Toyota trannies and other brands (including Jeep, Isuzu, and Volvo) because of global suppliers like Aisin-Warner. But being a direct bolt-up, very unlikely.
