2006 Volvo V70 FWD transmission not working at all, no codes

Rvolvos · Post by **Rvolvos** » 22 Jul 2022, 13:07

The transmission is not working at all. I have the front end raised/front wheel off the ground. Transmission indicator is working, shift cable attached, but no forward or rearward tire rotation when put in D or R. Geartronic / manual shifting no result either. Scanned the car with Vida and no codes.
Does anyone have an idea what to check next?

Current milage 185k but the transmission was replaced by Volvo under warranty at 100k by the previous owner.
The transmission developed a shift flare with 3-4 shift since the last 3 weeks, did a drain and fill and added some lubequard, did not help. It has an external atf cooler and magnafine filter.

Are both axles still firmly engaged?

Yes and the differential is working too.

Do you have a whining sound? How long did the “flaring” go on? Might be you smoked that clutch pack and pump is beginning to whine because the filter got clogged. Sounds bad, like a brokrn hard part

And ATF fluid level is ___?

If it went out after the extra chemicals you put in id do a complete drain and fill. Then another and maybe another. Not all additives are good for our cars. Change filter of course. Does it feel like its going into gear but still does nothing?

Flaring, 1 or 2 months, no whining sound at all.
I agree with a broken part, because it is doing nothing at all

I checked it after the drain and fill 3 weeks ago with the atf at 80 degrees C, spot on.

Used Lubequard because it was recommended by other users. It is worth a try, but If that would be the case, I would at least expect the tires to turn when off the ground, without a load.

Time for a transmission overhaul project!
