volvo xc90 2.9 auto t6 4 speed drain and replace transmision

[andymac5]

I had the message Transmission Service Urgent and Transmission needs service its an old car 93k miles on the clock.
Its the 4 speed auto 2.9 t6 awd.

I thought I may as well try the gear oil change as I had found 9 liters of Dexron 111 on ebay £41 pound.

I proceeded to remove protection tray from beneath the gradually removes all the 10mm bolts holding the sump on being careful not to damage the gasket of course i needed few containers to catch the old oil which was dark brown and should be red.

I then cleaned the sump cove that had grey sludge cleaned the inner parts i could see using tissue.
I then put it all back together and refilled using a funnel from the top easy to get too dip stick hole.
Ithen gave it a few runs and tests and to my amazement all faults cleared and now runs perfect.
lucky me .

its not a full flush

hope it works for you

happy days its great when things work
