What kind of gearbox does a Volvo V70 use?
If it’s the second generation v70 (2000-2007) the Aisin Warner gearbox can give problems at higher mileage but usually only if fluid changes have been neglected. Volvo never had a change interval in the service schedule for the gearbox. Saab 9-5’s used the same gearbox and did have a fluid change interval, guess what, no problems with the gearbox.
What happens when you change the gearbox in a Volvo?
It bangs when changing down from 2 to 1 when slowing to a stop. But, only does it when fully warmed up and sometimes not at all. I’m living with it. Mines on 130k miles btw (V70 D5). Change the fluid again to Volvo fluid, it isn’t that much more expensive.
Is the Mk 1 V70 a 5 speed gearbox?
The last of the Mk 1 V70’s (99 & 00) did have the 5-speed gearbox and engine setup from the 00-07 V70 but, for some reason, don’t seem quite as troublesome as in the later model. No logical reason why. The pre-99’s with 4-speed gearbox and mechanical rather than electronic throttle are probably less potentially troublesome overall.

How often should you change the transmission on a Volvo V70?
Thanks for all the advice and help. That’s great. Those early v70’s, being an updated version of the 850, were very durable cars. Have the fluid and filters changed every 4 years or 30,000 miles and the transmission will practically last forever. Not necessarily.
