Questions About 1993 Volvo 240’s Transmission

  • How much can I tow in a Volvo 240? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 240’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my 240's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Volvo 240’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Volvo's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Volvo 240? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Volvo 240, potentially causing transmission problems.
