Questions About 2001 Volvo S80’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Volvo's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volvo tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S80’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S80 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my S80's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Volvo S80’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. 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 S80? Yes. Volvo S80 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.

An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
