1999 V70-XC Angle Gear Input Shaft Splines Worn

My angle gear input shaft splines are worn, and the collar.

The collar replacement is easy enough, but can the input shaft be purchased here in the States, or outside?

The Volvo part number is: 9143884

Has someone been successful in having a machine shop repair the shaft?

Does this shaft have a cross reference with other Volvo models 2000 and up or other manufacturers?

Thank you for any insight into this.

I'd imagine at this point you are going to be much better off finding a whole replacement angle gear. You pull it yard or maybe Erie volvo might have something.

Or ignore it and drive like a FWD vehicle. Add snow tires and you are good.

Thank you for your reply jc, cn.

jc, I spent 4hrs researching this and I was concluding the same (pick and pull yard). What I was concerned about was the limited supply of these angle gears to choose from and there age. At this age I could get stuck with the same problem. I found a case from an 1998 V70 AWD that had the case from a 1999 (92mm flange with inset and not flush, perfect!). I will be ordering a collar kit and seals from my Dealer.

cn, your right, I have had studded snows on fwd in Alaska and it worked great.
I unfortunately had been driving it as a fwd (rebuilding my drive-line was on my project list), until the whirring at approx 10mph, that concerned my Wife, leading to inform me of a new problem. It was becoming very tempting to pull the guts out of the case and reinstall so the tranny fluid is still sealed by the collar, making it more permanent (I live on the Florida Coast, not much need for the awd). A lesson I learned, when the collar goes bad, don't let it be driven until fixed, one way or another.

My last solution to this was or is, just replace the awd transmission with a fwd tranny and change the tranny ecu, and get a fwd axle half shaft, and be done with this for good

This car is our back up Volvo, I'm restoring a 1998 V70 B5254S, without fly-by-wire, simple!

Time to go give our Volvo some love......

UPDATE!

I just read a great post from lookforjoe. I will try his plan for quick fix to fwd.

Clean the splines on trans output side well and clean the old collar sleeve well.

Replace the 2 passenger side output seals on transmission, (9496129, and 9143885).

Loktite the collar sleeve to trans output splines.

Re-insert axle half shaft with trw power steering bellow (larger diameter on small end) as a protective boot over collar sleeve.

It's reversible if it won't work well, not much to lose, I will take my time on a complete rebuild of the BG. I ordered from FCP, $50 with 2 day total.

jc....lookforjoe is a wealth of knowledge, thanks
