The Volvo PT2519 is the torque converter assembly paired with the Volvo PowerTronic IL2 ATC planetary transmission across the A35E, A35F, A35G, A40E, A40F, and A40G articulated haulers. Midwest Industrial Sales rebuilds the assembled unit under part numbers 22418 (earlier variant) and 22419 (later variant) — nine forward, three reverse, with automatic lock-up on the torque converter and skip-shifting for faster acceleration. Every unit is dyno-tested under load before it ships.
The PT2519 is the production transmission across two generations of Volvo articulated haulers — the E, F, and G series in the 35-tonne and 40-tonne weight classes. The 22418 part number predominates in earlier units; 22419 covers later variants. Midwest Industrial Sales keeps both on the shelf.
After 20+ years of rebuilding PT-series transmissions, these are the failure modes we see most often. Every Midwest Industrial Sales rebuild addresses each of them as part of the standard process — not just the failed component that brought the unit in.
Most often traced to worn clutch frictions and degraded steels. Severity grows under high-cycle loaded haul-road duty.
The built-in lock-up on the torque converter is a known wear point — fluid contamination from upstream wear accelerates the failure.
Main pressure PWM solenoid and fluid-level sensors fail in dusty haul-road environments. Often shows up as ECM fault codes before drivability complaints.
Reduced lube flow is the root cause of most premature transmission failures. By the time the operator notices, the damage is already cascading.
Known design weakness in earlier PT2519 builds — bearings + carrier wear together if not addressed during rebuild.
Every PT2519 that leaves Gardner, Illinois has been torn down to housing castings, cleaned, inspected against factory specs, and reassembled with new wear parts. Carlisle frictions and steels on every clutch pack, genuine Volvo OEM solenoids and sensors, an updated planetary carrier package, and a new higher-volume charge pump. The completed unit runs on our dynamometer under load, with Volvo-style Quick-Connect fittings installed into the pressure ports to verify every clutch pack is within factory specification. It does not ship until it passes.

Midwest Industrial Sales rebuilds the assembled unit under part number 22419 (a later revision); earlier units may carry part number 22418. Both are PT2519 family.
Nine forward gears and three reverse gears. The PowerTronic transmission allows gears to be skipped while shifting for faster acceleration. The PT 2519 torque converter includes a built-in lock-up clutch for direct-drive efficiency at cruise speed, with a top speed of approximately 57 km/h (35 mph).
Pricing depends on the condition of the core, supersession history, and turnaround needs. Call Midwest Industrial Sales at (800) 447-9343 with your serial number and we will confirm pricing, core requirements, and lead time. Most rebuilt PT2519 transmissions ship within a few days of order.
The PT2519 fits the A35E/F/G and A40E/F/G generations of Volvo articulated trucks. The PT2529 is a larger-capacity transmission used in the A35G, A40G, and A45G — designed for the higher gross vehicle weight of the A45G. They are not interchangeable.
Midwest Industrial Sales rebuilds PT2519 transmissions under part numbers 22418 and 22419. 22418 covers earlier A35E/A40E/A35F/A40F units; 22419 covers later A35F/A35G/A40F/A40G units. Both contain the same PT2519 family core.
Every Volvo transmission rebuilt by Midwest Industrial Sales ships with a 2-year warranty. Coverage and terms are confirmed at the time of quote.
We’ll match you to the right part number (22418 or 22419), confirm availability, and quote on the spot. Most units ship within a few days of order.
