I believe all Volvo O/D have a cone clutch. That is the reasons they shift so smoothly. The Bravo Merc drives use them also, I think I remember reading a few years ago that Volvo had a patend on it and when it expired Merc started using it. I could be wrong, you know they say the second thing that goes is your memory...and I cant remember what the first is. I hope this will help.

broad is right...Merc brought out the bravo after patents ran out. all drives 200-290 had a variation of the cone clutch upper
