It is with great pleasure that I report we have achieved, in the words of Borat, "Great Success!" To jimmy57: you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I swapped the VSS and ISSS from the old 98 trans into the transplanted 99 trans. A test drive seems to indicate complete success. The car, in normal "E ...

The 99 trans Vehicle Speed Sensor and Input Shaft Speed Sensor both measured 1,400 ohms. So I'm going to install the 98 trans VSS and ISSS into the installed 99 trans. Thanks for the help.

I took the 98 trans sensors off. Both the Vehicle Speed Sensor (“VS”) and the Input Shaft Speed (“ISS”) Sensor (aka Tachometer Sensor) were measured at 400 ohms. In addition to swapping the 99 trans VS and ISS Sensors for the 98 trans VS and ISS Sensors, should I consider swapping the Starter ...

Thanks for the input jimmy57. I am getting a reliable meter to check the resistance values of the 98 and 99 Vehicle Speed Sensors as you directed. How much difference in resistance should I expect between the 98 and 99 VS Sensors? Also, do I understand you correctly that you suggest that both the ...

First, let me thank you guys for your responses to my problem. The original transmission (“98 trans”) failed on Halloween night. 98 trans has 178k miles on it. Car was steered to the side of the road; it would not go forward or reverse. I took the car on a trailer to a local repair garage that ...

PS: When the UP ARROW came on, it was steady. That is, not flashing. Also, I very carefully inspected the main wiring harness and pin configuration. On the transmission, the wiring harness plug receptacle has very small numbering at each possible pin location. There are approximately 30 possible pin ...

Upon starting engine and while transmission still in park, the dash lights "ABS", "TRACS" & "Check Engine" came on. Placed trans into "D" and starting driving, ABS and TRACS lights went off. Check Engine dash light stayed on. Car seems to be taking off in 1st gear because it accelerates from stop ...

Long story regarding replacement of transmission, but I'll keep it short. I just completed replacement of the transmission in my son's 1998 V70xc. Problem: car runs and drives in reverse and 1st gear, but will not shift up to 2nd, etc. Question: Do I need to reset a computer setting to allow the ...

My son has a 1998 V70XC with 171,000 miles. We have owned the car since 2001 with 90,000 miles. After resolving the fuel pump matter from last May, a new issues has emerged. The transmission seems to be operating from a higher gear when starting from a dead stop (starting from other then 1st gear ...

My 17 year old son has been drive my wife’s former 1998 Volvo v70 xc. The other day he started the engine and it ran for about 10 seconds. The engine then stalled. He restarted the engine and it again stalled after about 10 seconds. After the engine would turn over very well but would not start. We ...
