WTB -- '99 S70 -- Shift Indicator Acetate Film

Post by **E Showell** » 12 Jul 2015, 09:02

So, I replaced the shifter surround on my '99 S70 base model with one from a four speed transmission. I have a three speed transmission. As a result, the thin acetate film indicating which gear is selected does not read correctly as there is one more space than I have gears. Does anyone have a shifter surround for a three speed? Or better yet, just the acetate film (quite fragile)? Thanks.

WRONG
You have a 4 speed, ignore the odd numbers, it's reading properly, Volvo skips a gear.
It should say L-3-4

Seriously Evan, how long have you owned your cars and owned Volvos?
You damn well know there's no such an animal as a Volvo 3 speed automatic since the 1970s.

Jim. Not intending to get into a semantics battle -- the acetate film I have now says PRND321. The film I need should say PRND3L.

No longer required. I found one used. Thanks.

I should also add that while at one time this was available, with its own part number and everything, it is no longer supplied by Volvo, so used is the only option.
