Car Forum / Volvo Cars / October 2006Volvo: Identify Auto Trans Type
I am wondering how i identify the type of transmission type i have. The Ower's Manual refers to a AW5 and AW4 and the fluid type is quite different between the two. Could someone help me find where this information is? thanks > I am wondering how i identify the type of transmission type i have.

More than likely it is an aw 50-55 transmission you will to check your owners manual for the correct type Glenn Signature"*-344-*Never Forgotten" Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001.

And I will never forget them as long as I live, nor should any American. doesn't the mfr plate on the fender or some such under the hood have all the identity stuff such as xmissions? also, can you not take the VIN and decode, eg for 1 998 v70xc? > YV1LZ564XW2111111 YV1LS5542N5001234 > [quoted text clipped - 82 lines] > > >> It is a year 2000, V70 model >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > owners manual for the correct type > Glenn >I am wondering how i identify the type of transmission type i have.

Supposedly if the handle to the dipstick is yellow and easy to get to it is the older 4 speed type while the newer 5 speed type has a hard to reach red handle. But, I might have it wrong :(. Volvo supplied both 4 and 5 speed automatic transmissions for a period of time. There is probably also a way to tell from the VIN number. Your friendly Volvo dealer should be able to look it up.
