CAUTION
The driveshaft must be removed before towing the vehicle. Failure to remove the driveshaft may result in damage to the
transmission.
Note: The final stage manufacturer has the responsibility to certify that the completed vehicle conforms to all applicable mo-
tor vehicle safety standards, as referenced in the Incomplete Vehicle Document. The following installation precautions must
be followed to the extent that they apply to the intended design of the incomplete vehicle.
Note: Failure to adhere to all safety practices can lead to the voiding of all applicable component warranties, com-
ponent damage, personal injury or death.
1 Adequate tool clearance and suitable access openings for transmission adjustments must be provided. Transmission re-
moval provisions must also be considered.
2 Transmission cooler lines must not be kinked, bent, or restricted. All cooler lines must be properly retained with adequate
clips.
3 Before using transmission bolts, e.g., rear cover bolts or mounting bolts, contact your local Volvo dealer for specific bolt
length requirements, torque values and other constraints.
4 Transmission service identification tags must not be removed or destroyed. If the transmission is reworked or replaced,
tag should be attached to the new transmission.
5 When painting the transmission, careful consideration should be given to keeping paint away from the breather and trans-
mission output seal.
6 Transmission filler plugs should not be obstructed. Easy access for checking of lube level or filling is necessary.

Transmission Oil Cooler
Some variants of the transmission feature an oil cooler that is mounted directly to the transmission. It uses an engine thermo-
stat controlled coolant circuit. Coolant is pulled from the engine block to supply coolant to the oil plate heat exchanger. Oil is
exchanged between the plate cooler and oil filter. The coolant piping runs over the flywheel housing.
If the battery cables need to be disconnected for service, they should be clipped and properly rerouted over the flywheel
housing. The battery cables should not touch the transmission oil coolant lines or the coolant lines could abrade and fail.

Other variants of the transmission use the vehicle’s radiator to cool transmission fluid. The coolant lines do not run over the
top of the flywheel housing.
