What kind of gearbox does a Volvo V70 have?
A ’98 will most likely have the earlier 4-speed – you can tell from the gear selector. They’re generally fine. The last of the Mk 1 V70’s (99 & 00) did have the 5-speed gearbox and engine setup from the 00-07 V70 but, for some reason, don’t seem quite as troublesome as in the later model. No logical reason why.
Why is my XC70 not shifting to 3rd gear?

What was the transmission on a 2002 XC70?
2002 XC70 Transmission Nightmare – EVERYONE PLEASE READ! We took or ’02 to an independent repair shop for a 105,000 mile service. We had great results at this shop for several years with service on our truck.
Is the Mk 1 V70 a 5 speed gearbox?
The last of the Mk 1 V70’s (99 & 00) did have the 5-speed gearbox and engine setup from the 00-07 V70 but, for some reason, don’t seem quite as troublesome as in the later model. No logical reason why. The pre-99’s with 4-speed gearbox and mechanical rather than electronic throttle are probably less potentially troublesome overall.
Why is my transmission not working on my Volvo V70?
Over the previous two months, it gradually become more noticeable. After the 60,000 mile service & transmission fluid replacement, the faint noise became a loud clunk when the transmission shifted. The transmission would also at times not engage when accelerating after a stop or a slow down.
What happens when you change the gearbox in a Volvo?
It bangs when changing down from 2 to 1 when slowing to a stop. But, only does it when fully warmed up and sometimes not at all. I’m living with it. Mines on 130k miles btw (V70 D5). Change the fluid again to Volvo fluid, it isn’t that much more expensive.
