Hi Alex,

Volvo is now recommending that the AFT be inspected and or replace if needed every 15k miles. If your cars’ ATF is brown and smells burned have it flushed/drained and add Synthetic AFT oil. Note, there is a 24mm bolt located at the bottom of the transmission. You can do a drain and fill yourself. It is no more harder then changing the Engine Oil.

Second there is a Service Bulletin (Volvo SB# 44300040011) on changing the Transfer-case Gear oil in some 98 AWD/XC. Verify that the gear oil has been changed or you have a car that does not require the change. If the car does not require the change get it in writing form the Dealer. It may come in handy in the future if there is a failure.

And make sure that you maintain all tires to be the same size and brand/make and you won’t have any problems with the AWD components. And If possible stay off the space saver spare.

Good Luck,

Steven---
