Manual Transmission Service V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be claude on  Wed May 3 05:34 CST 2006 [RELATED]

For what it's worth, my 1994 855M (5spd manual wagon) with 325,00 miles had the tranny fluid chaged sometime in the mid 100,000's and the tranny shifts darned near as well as when it was new. No synchro noises, or roughness. I suppose I should change it again sometime soon. I figured I'd give some first hand experience from the other end of the maintenance spectrum.....not being a "nut" about changing stuff every 50k......Though I do change my oil every 5k! Did the clutch at 256k miles only due do bad rear main seal.

These appear to be really good trannies and I just picked up a 1999 V70M to replace/supplement my 850 as I have had such good experience with the manual cars.
