The 960 certainly has a transmission filter.
If I had a mechanic tell me that I'd find a new mechanic.
That one would never touch my car again.

But I do my own work. Filter Is inside the pan secured by 3 bolts. As far as the filter goes on this car it's very easy to replace.

Mechanic is mistaking your transmission as what would be installed in a Volvo 740/760/940. Tell him to think 1992 Volvo 960.

It is a AW 30-40 electronically controlled transmission. To check fluid it should be driven to normal operating temperature, then stop on level surface, then put transmission in each gear for five seconds, then back to park and check fluid level. June

You likely will have to use Dextron III as II might no longer be available and III is the replacement for II. I would not use the newest Dextron or multi vehicle fluid. Volvo still sells the Dextron III. My S80 has a Dextron III transmission. The dealer used BG Synthetic fluid and it disturbed the o...

If it's Dextron II I don't see why not. I'm just surprised you can still get fluid labeled Dextron II/Mercon over there. It's been Dextron III over here since the 90s. Actually Dextron III is rare to find these days. Usually it's something that claims to cover Dextron and then other fluids. Types of...

Smoking is odd. In non electronic transmissions there is a vacuum modulator valve that can go bad and pass fluid through the vacuum line into the engine. June

It looks like someone modified the original double DIN opening to accept a single DIN radio with a single DIN tray either above or below the radio. It looks like the radio was on top and the tray was underneath, but there is not a back on the bottom tray which is odd. My 1994 960 has the SC-810 doub...

One more thing, if you buy a used Volvo radio like the SC-810, be sure that the seller can provide you with the factory code for the radio; otherwise it will be useless to you. When you power it on it will say "CODE" on the display and will not do anything else until the numeric code is en...

It looks like someone modified the original double DIN opening to accept a single DIN radio with a single DIN tray either above or below the radio. The 1991 came with single DIN or double DIN. The single DIN will be harder to find. He could get the mounting frame for a double DIN. Then install one ...

If you guys know where I can find that, then I could try to buy it and ship it to my country, with a double DIN radio. The early 740, 940 & 960 are getting scarce everywhere. If you can get a double DIN mount panel. There is still a good supply of SC-XXX Radios. Will need to figure out of radio...
