Both 200 series and 700 series diesels sold in North America had M46 gearboxes in the manual version, 200 series automatics got the three speed Borg Warner 55, with a tall 3.31 to 1 final drive ratio, 700 series automatics had the ZF4HP22, four speed, with a final drive ratio of 3.91 to 1. For obvious reasons, the 700 series with a turbocharger and overdrive ZF4HP22 four speed is the automatic version Volvo diesel to drive. With the majority of 700 series diesels sold in North America getting the ZF4HP22 automatic, a higher percentage of 200 series diesels got M46 manuals versus BW55 automatics.
