1998-9 V70 Gear shift knob compatability

Post by **abscate** » 17 Jul 2014, 10:26

Im coveting my neighbors T5 manual gear shift knob for my 1999 V70 T5. My gear marks have worn off, and since my teens starting driving the sticks, they have to figure out where the gears are by trial - which is rude.

Can I PnP a 1998 earlier gear shift knob and put it on my 1999??

I am uninterested in the 99 USD new one from dealer....crikes...

Finally - does anyone know how to break into a 1998 T5 without leaving any marks?

There is a plethora of manual shift knobs on ebay listed for Volvo--most less than desirable--but you might peruse some of them to determine compatibility between different years.

I find that half claim a model year break and half don't, and the third half claim "fits all Volvos and cars made since 4000 BC"

Well, no help there.

Hmm....the Volvosaurus--I had a 5th grade teacher who had one of those.

We might try popping off my neighbors to see if it fits, will report back
