Wow,

I can’t believe that the shop used the band anchor bolt hole as a fill port even after you told them to keep their hands off!

I’m the author of the “Transmission Nightmare” thread. As my...

Anyone else?

I don't need the rubber pen holder, I need the narrow plastic panel that the rubber holder attaches to. One of the clips must have cracked the last time I took it off when I had to...

I’m looking for a replacement pen holder cover panel. Ours seems to have a cracked clip on one side and is loose when it is put in place.

Anyone know of the part number for this piece or an idea...

The insurance company for the indy shop cut me check for the entire rebuild cost of the transmission.

I'd like to trade or 02 xc70 for a xc90 in a year or 2.

I don't live in Canada, so I cannot be a sticker tester. However, I'd love to see what this first test batch looks like.

Forkster, could you post a photo of one?

Thanks!

Let me know

Mattyo,

I can't believe that this has happened to to twice.

take the information from this thread and try to get reimbursed.

Its really lousy how common a mistake this seems to be.

If I were you I would do the B4 servo replacement. and do a couple of ATF drain and fills. I believe it will improve your shifting performance.

These threads should be required reading for...

Looks like goods stashed away for safe keeping by a chipmunk or squirrel to me!

We had a whole bunch of that stuff in a cabinet in our back yard shed when we first moved into our new house two...

It is my understanding that the transmission drain plug is in the red box in the photo below. Please correct me if I am wrong!

I'd like to know if someone could provide a part number or some...

I just had a rebuild done on our '02 XC, however it was due to a mechanic's mistake and I did not have to pay for it in the end. You can read about it on this STICKY here...

I got the check yesterday from the repair shop's insurance company for the full $3,168.

I took a couple of weeks for the agent to actually get in touch with me. We ended up having a...

Kails,

Sorry to hear about your troubles.

There is a service bulletin for a shift flare from 2nd to 3rd gear. It apparently is a relativley affordable repair.

In our situation 3rd gear was...

A sticker could help a lot. I'd buy one for sure!!!

That bolt should be an anti-tamper bolt (5-sided) or something similar straight from the factory.

This post here:...

That bolt is clearly visible on many volvo transmissions for sale on eBay right now that are represented to be take-out units from 01-07 model year vehicles.

For your viewing pleasure I am including a video link below on where to look on your XC to find out if you have this particular band anchor bolt. Just click the link and press play. You'll notice...

If fellow owners read this post they will be armed with at least $3,000 worth of information.

Where else can you get that?

If anybody has a good, clear photo of the transmission fluid drain...

Well, lets see, where did we leave off?

Last week Saturday we had to take our car back to the tranny rebuild shop becuase the alignment was completely out of wack. They...

Forkster - Adding this to FAQ section or making it a sticky is a great idea, thanks!

Jeremy - Thats a good idea about the anti-tamper treatment. I have read in the some of the documents I have...

Its not just fellow XC'ers that this story applies to.

This same transmission (manufatured by Aisin Tranmissions) is used in a lot of cars that aren't Volvo.

You'll find this tranny in Nissan...

I keep telling myself, "just be cool", "play dumb", "don't give any indication of what ya know".

I like the idea of trying to focus my attention on the type of fluid that was used.

When I went...

Here is a photo of that band anchor bolt.

Do not remove this bolt to use it as an ATF fill port!
