Missing Transmission Bushing (?)

I come here with another problem, if you remember I have an S70 GLT that I'm trying to revive, one of the problems I have is this.

I've checked VIDA and other places but I can't find what part I'm missing here.

If somebody can point me what am I missing could help me very much

Three engine mounts 123 on the p80 engine in the FWD model, the AWD has a fourth, marked X

Two torque rods in circles

I think someone wanted extra firewood for camp.

Also there is a rubber bumper (position 37 in the parts catalogue screenshot) which is usually in the spot where the wood now lives.
However the gearbox should not rest on that bumper unless the front and rear engine mounts are seriously flattened.

If the wood was placed there is it as crasbe says, likely a problem with the engine front and rear 'cone' mounts have failed allowing the engine to sag onto the crossmember. I have seen the engine drop significantly when those 2 cone mounts have collapsed. You may have to a get a rubber bump stop as mentioned if in replacing the wood you may find it is missing.

When replacing the cone mounts, be careful how high you jack the engine unless you have the axles removed as you can damage the cv joints. Volvo says no more than 1"/25mm if axles still attached. On the rear cone mount watch for the pin locator on the top when fitting.

Did you put the wood there or did it come with the car

?

Interesting, 51 and 31A are suppose to come on the C70 convertibles or maybe even C70 coupe. I installed 51 on the 00 S70 SE Base and was looking for 31A when the car went on non-op from a black ice skid incident damage.

I have a pair of those 2 parts and tall the associated hardware. I was hoping to install it on my V70R but they won't fit an AWD car, only a FWD. This is because the part #51 in the drawing which is really the main brace, fits where the center prop-shaft mount is. These mount holes are in all FWD and AWD shells but just not used on FWD car except the convertibles. I've never seen under a coupe to know if they are fitted in there. I think the fact it has a roof may mean it did not get these as the shell was strong enough to stop twisting.

Awkward to ship but if anyone wants these let me know.
