Rear Transmission Seal Replacement

GSmith · Post by **GSmith** » 16 Apr 2009, 12:57

I know that my car is leaking transmission fluid, but I don't know where yet. I'm thinking it's the rear seal since it lost the most fluid the night i had the front end up on ramps doing the water pump.

Are the rear seal instructions the same for the 740 as they are as posted on this site for the 240?

As long as your car has an AW-7(0/1) transmission I think that these instructions would work: http://volvoadventures.com/howtodotransmissionseal.html Do you have a link to the ones on this site?

Thanks

As DeRail said it is the same for the AW70/71 regardless of the model.

To further confuse you you can find lots of good info at: http://www.swedishbricks.net/700900FAQ/ ... ft_Bushing.

I particularly like Bill Lauber's tip about raising the rear of the car to minimize fluid loss.

That link looks like it will be of huge assistance to me. I've been checking the fluid every other day and the leak seems to be minimal (until I put it up on ramps), so I'm going to wait until a little more money comes into the house and do that seal.
