    Just got to map it now, if the v70r has more miles on the same box with more torque and bhp I'm sure the xc90 box will be ok.

    Polestar map or does anyone do a different map (not a rica)

    If you were looking inside, how would you tell the difference to the 6spd autos? I've looked at a couple of s60/v70 t5s, between the years 04 and 06 and they were all 5spd autos.

    I've seen two 55 plate cars that were 5spd. Registered in 2005, but manufactured in 2004.

    How do you check the fluid if they don't have a dipstick?

    You drain it, on the sump (same as my p2.5r) and inspect and it has a fill level on a tube, just like the way Edd China did on the boxster gearbox, only you fill the Volvo from the top.

    It's important as the tf80sc box doesn't have a filter, but same box in the polestar, so quite tough

    Not exactly easy to check when your viewing a car to buy then.

    I love it how they like to make cars harder to work on, the newer they get. I remember trying to find the oil dipstick on the newer twin tubo diesels.............
