Re: transmission swap

well that's good, i think. i just went out in it this evening. it pulls very strongly, shifts smoothly, for about 5-7 minutes. then slipping for sure in gears 1-3. i just have trouble understanding how it could run so well -- strong pulling, no slipping -- and still need major work. i'm wanting it ...

Re: transmission swap

i bought car at 92k. shifted very nicely. smooth and no clunks, unlike my wife's 2 v70's (2001's). at 122k it started a rough acceleration in 2nd -- trans, not motor. it would smooth out though, and i don't drive it hard. then, 124k, coming around a curve, my rpm's shot up and trans warning lights ...

transmission swap

i need to replace my transmission. i've found a trans for a non-turbo at a good price. mine is a turbo. i understand bell-housing is different? is bell-housing on these tranny's exchangable? or do i have to find a transmission for a turbo, like mine?

thanks in advance.

Re: volvo S60 transmission problem

well, i'm having similar issues, seeking advice. 2002 s60 2.4t. i'm not sure of tranny fluid change history -- i've owned it from 92k miles, now has 124k and i've not changed it. it started shifting into 2nd irregularly, and sometimes downshifting hard several months ago. i just drove it carefully ...
