gearbox needed
 

does any know what gearbox will fit into my 1998 v70 r awd 2.3ltr 20v turbo its the 5 speed manua. as it is starting to rattle in 1st and 2nd gear doing around 15 to 25 mph and is fine in all other gears.

i would like to fit the 6 speed box into mine that comes from the newer 2005 v70.

but i will stick to the older 5 speed manual if its better to fit.

i have already taken the propshaft and transfer box off and sold them as i want to stick to fwd only so in need of a decent gearbox any one got one or know what one to get for mine thanks.

Hi,

I`ve got a good 5 speed gearbox from a 1996 850 T5. I`m not 100% sure if it would fit a 1998 R, but `im sure there will be someone around here soon who will be able to give an answer.

If it will fit, I`m after £95 for it.

Thanks,

Rob

i have the 5 speed awd box with transfer box

£250 delivered in UK

hello that is to dear sorry as they are only half that on ebay and i am coverd on there if it is broke.

also i do not want the transfer box as its not needed on mine as i have sold it as the awd is a load of bull so i am running fwd only thanks anyhow.

ok i will try and find out but i am sure it will fit as i am not running the awd on mine so the fwd box should fit ok as the driveshaft fits into the side of all the boxes so should fit mine as i am now fwd only rather than that ****e awd idea that aint even awd full time only if a wheel spins and that just silly all time awd is so much better.

I know what you mean! i`m pretty sure it will fit too, but will ask about on the forums for a definate answer for you.

Hi,
I`ve done some research, and this gearbox will fit your car. You`ll need an O/S driveshaft also though.

I hope this helps, let me know if you want the box and i`ll put it to one side for you.

Rob

ok thank you i will try and find out some more info about this aswell just for my own info.

also what was the miles on this box and what car/year did it come out of please thanks

No problem. It came out of a 1996 850 T5 with 121k on the clock. It was a well serviced car, with upto date Volvo service history too.

Let me know if you need anymore info.

thats a bit high miles aint it mine is on 144k and having probs with the box at that miles so if im going to have the same prob with your one in a few thousand miles there is no point in me having it to be honnest as its going to cost me £180 to have it fitted by my mates car garage who does all my work i will have to let you know thanks
