lv740 Hi there , has anyone with similar volvo ever replaced a shifter bushing ? mine feels kind of loose and not accurate , eg drive sometimes looks as if its neutral etc when you put the shifter in reverse or drive you have to hunt around and go by feel .Any advice welcome
ramrod There could be actually no rubber bushing left, so the metal levers push on each other with a huge gap which is why the shift lever feels looseI have new bushings for sale if you're interested in the repair
lv740 Thanks Ramrod, is it something I can do I only have ramps , Jackstands, I take it its done from under the car?
Brad I've replaced the shifter bushings on a 740 and a couple of 940s. I assume the 240 would be the same. It's a pretty easy job. I find placing the bush into a cup of hot water for a few minutes to soften it a bit and then applying some grease/lube to it makes the job easier.
