Re: 1998 S70 GLT, Hard shifting, 139,000 miles

For the lower transmission torque mount would you need to support the engine while replacing it or can you just unbolt it and replace it?

Re: 1998 S70 GLT, Hard shifting, 139,000 miles

So I just checked the transmission torque mount and it appears to be pretty worn out. There is a sizable hole in the bushing toward the front of the car.

Re: 1998 S70 GLT, Hard shifting, 139,000 miles

Yea I would say it made it shift a little harder. Its really not that bad but definitely noticeable. I really appreciate the advice guys and the video.

Re: 1998 Volvo s70 GLT, coolant indicator light

I have a green cap have been driving it around since I filled it while running. Isn't the purpose of the expansion tank to hold excess coolant when the engine heats up to its operating temperature? So It will be at its fullest point when the engine is at operating temp?

Re: 1998 Volvo s70 glt, best location to use seafoam

Alright that sounds easy enough. So basically any line that runs into the vacuum tree or into the block that has a suction?

Re: 1998 Volvo s70 GLT, coolant indicator light

Just filled up the reservoir with the engine running and warmed up. I was under the impression that you needed to check/fill it cold. Thanks for the help.
