The beige gear shift knob on our '08 V70 was badly worn so I bought a used black knob from Erie VoVo and it took less than 5 min to install thanks to your video. I even used dental picks like in the video. Thanks!
Yuri, I just bought few days ago 2008 Volvo xc70 3.2L only osiemdiesiat thousands km. Toronto Area excellent shaped. I'm glad watching your Videos, harosha robota, spasiba !!!
Also knob I believe has to be pressed when removing it too. You showed it has to be pressed the knob when installing, but also when being removed from what I read elsewhere with a diagram online. I read that screwdrivers can be used to remove tabs off indentation to release knob before pulling it off. Here you used picks that look similar to dental picks. I guess either is fine. Nice video.
By the way I think prices went up like 25 percent from what I paid if not more. I replaced my gear shifter on my 2012 s80 like in 2014 or 2015. I think I paid like 75 U.S. dollars for it. I'll try to check my records. Now i see they are going for well over a 100 dollars.
This video was very helpful, thank you! However, my "button" is stuck in the in position internally, even though the button itself is stuck in the out position, so I therefore have no lockout of reverse or park. Is it just not pushed down enough, or is something internal not right? Thanks!
If I were to buy and install a new gear lever, is this plug & play, are there any modifications (center console, electronics ...)? From xc70 MY12 to MY15
Thanks for your video! I have a volvo xc60 2011 and have been trying to buy a gear shift knob that fits my vehicle but none of the ones I've seen look like mine. Coincidentally, yours looks like mine. Do you mind telling me the part number please?
I really like the new style gear shifter and have been wondering if it can be retro fitted.....how much did the complete unit cost and did you make a video?
Hey Juri wanted to ask you since that is a long time question and I write on google and I dont get clear answers. But my question is , why did you choose an automatic transmission ? Are they better for the engine ??? I mean if you want to rich with a diesel car up to 700.000km its better an automatic transmission ? I just want to know if its the automatic better for the engine to last long or it doesnt matter if its automatic or manual. Im an owner of the V70 MY08 manual transimission I want to change my car to XC70 and most of them in the market are automatic.... I dont get it
+rebelaris Hey. Most cars are automatic today. Not many people plan on keeping their with high milage. Also not many people know how to drive manual including my wife. So I can't keep manual car in my family. Even semi trucks are more and more automatic today.
hi, can you tel me, please, how much dose the knob cost where you live, because here in Spain it's like 170€ and I saw it in USA for like 53$. the bad thing is that to ship it they charge 70$. it's cheaper the EU but still... and do you know if they sell only the top/central part of knob. I saw it can be removed easily thanks
Are you planning to replace whole gear shift with housing for dacelift model ? it is possible to replace for facelift one. i think it is much more nicer. it is just plug n play. =) i want to replace it because from poland it is very cheap only about 80€ fits from v40 xc40 v60 xc60 xc70 s80 v70 ;)
