Questions About 1986 Volvo 740’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Volvo? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your 740 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my 740's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1986 740’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Volvo 740? Yes. Volvo 740 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
