Why is Your 1990 740’s Transmission So Important?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1990 Volvo 740 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Volvo 740 transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your 740 at all.

1990 Volvo 740 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Volvo's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volvo tow?   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 740’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my 740's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Volvo 740’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Volvo. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Volvo 740 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Volvo 740, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Is it okay to drive a 740 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 740 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
