2001 V70 Full Transmission Flush

Post by josephstrahan »

Just completed a full tranny flush on my 01 V70 with Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF. All I can say is simply amazing! Shifts sooo smoothly, that I do not feel it. I would imagine that it shifts as fresh from the factory and she has over a 170,000mi on her. I purchased the ole girl from a friend that had extensive dealer records and could not find a flush ever being completed. Prior to the flush, I could feel the shift in gears. Now I feel nothing! I will post again in a month to let everyone know if I am still getting the same results or having to get a new tranny.

Wrong fluid, sorry.
You need to get that out ASAP!
