Hi everyone,

I have an 04 s60r and a 95 850 (both MT). I'm located in the Cherry Hill area (minutes from Philly). Let me know if you need a second set of hands handling a task.

I am DIY certified. The most difficult jobs I have done include changing the clutch (on my miata), changing the timing belt on 3 non volvos (my s60r is next!), and replacing all the major suspension components on the 850. I can diagnose most problems with certainty and have a decent set of tools and some specialized ones. I am not too familiar with automatic transmissions since I've never owned one or driven one for more than a day or two. But I'm down for whatever. Since I plan on keeping both volvos until they die, I'd like to learn as much as possible about them. So I'm in it for the experience and community.

One of these is not like the other.
