My auto shifter button pin is lost. It is the pin that is uppermost and the only one in the actual button. I am looking, but if I don't find it, does anyone have one out to measure the length on? Diameter would b good info too, but I think it is the same diameter as the other pins. I figure a trip to the hardware store (an actual, good hardware store) and I should have my replacement without resorting to a trip to a pick and pull.

I pulled mine apart a while back to see if it was repairable. I then decided to order a repair kit and they were always out of stock. I had the dash out and under repair so it sat around and eventually got up and walked away on its own apparently. Now I have the dash back in, going back together with everything. My new shift button arrived and no pin.

I have a reference pic but evidently it is 2 characters too long to post here.

Broken shift handles on the S70 are common for some reason. A local Volvo shop would give you the broken one they replaced and you get the pin that way.

That's a pretty darn good idea, David. Thanks!

I found an almost perfect specimen to replace it in my junk parts and fasteners. It came out of a bag scrounged bits from a defunct Daisy powerline 92 co2 pistol. But frankly, I wouldn't care if it came out of a coffeemaker as long as it worked. This one was actually better than the original as it has a knurled section on one end that keeps it from backing out from one side. Came in handy during reassembly.

FIXED.
