Let’s talk Volvo 940 Non Turbo Transmission
940 Transmission: High Pitched Whining Sound
No, not the wife this time.
I bought a 1998 940 non turbo wagon for my son with about 200,000 miles on it. Before I got it on the road I had my local Volvo mechanic go over it pretty closely. I was having some transmission issues as it was making a high pitched whining sound and was not shifting properly. He flushed and changed transmission fluid and installed a screen kit. It ran fine for about a month or so. Now it seems to be making the sound again and not shifting as smoothly.

Bonus! More on the Volvo 940
The Volvo 940/960 range was introduced in autumn 1990. The new 940 replaced the 740 which, however, remained in production as the basic 740 GL model. A 4-cylinder petrol engine or a 6-cylinder turbo-diesel powered the Volvo 940, which resembled the 960.
The Volvo 940 also launched a number of new safety features. Together with its luxury sibling the 960, a three-point inertia-reel seat belt was fitted as standard together with an adjustable head restraint in the middle of the rear seat, heralding a world breakthrough for these features. Furthermore, an integrated child seat built into the rear seat’s middle armrest could be specified as an option.
These and other safety developments gained the model many international accolades, not least among them the “Prince Michael Road Safety Award” and the “Autocar & Motor” prize for the best safety features.
