Questions About 1992 Volvo 960’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Volvo? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your 960 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
