2000 Volvo S80 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your S80's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your S80 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Volvo S80, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Volvo's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Volvo S80 Drivetrain Repairs

Your Volvo S80 may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
