Re: 2000 S70 New shift bushing but still can’t grab gears

I didn’t realize Robert was a phone call and text guy, I only managed to find an email. Do you all know the number? Sir abscate, I did send you a PM about those cables.

Re: V70 Steering Rack replacement: some questions

Since the fluid has escaped the only solution is to replace the rack. As abscate mentioned use the bridge to hold the engine/transmission; they stay in place while you drop the subframe.
