I replaced my gear knob and boot leather cover on my Volvo S80/ manual transmission with one from a v60 from 2015. I paid £40 The original one was well worn, barely could see the printing and was well scuffed and scratched ,the leather cover has a hole in it too. The replacement is almost unmarked. It looks much better I think the new one as in V40s (plastic+leather insert) similar with yours,but manual ,could fit on mines too Great video as always 👍
Question.. Is that a TF 80SC gear box? I recently purchased an XC70 D5 AWD, 2008, and I would LOVE to have the upgraded gear lever. Is it really a plug and play exchange?
Hello. The electric connection is just a connector. And the light on the shifter works right away. (I bekieve that on 2013 lever, light also show which position the lever are in. And that version is different.
I don’t know if this helps: Take key out of fob Put in slot that’s behind behind console at the bottom (sometimes under a small mat) This allows you to move shifter without the engine running.
Arnold Clarke you are absolutely correct. Also if you remove the panel on left side of mid console, (no screws) you can see the mechanic parts including the solenoid. You can easily with your finger move it in order to move gear shifter. Regards Christer
I really like the flat blind on the older model, the leather sock just collects dust and gunk and is impossible to clean properly. My 2009 V70 has a very worn shifter, makes me wonder if I could swap it for the old style, lol!
@@swedemake5571 Does it matter if the new shifter comes from a petrol engine. I found one, but it is VOLVO V40 1,6T 132KW 2014 petrol and I have a 2,4 D5 AWD S80 2007. What do you think? Does it fit?
Priit Päärson I am not sure that 40 series is bolt on. I do think thar 60 and 70 gear lever are 100% the same. And it should not matter between. Petrol or Diesel should not matter

There is two panel removal missing in video. The side panels by the floor in mid console, just pull straight out. They are only fitted with clips. The panel that are around the gear stick have four clearly visible screws from on top. Unscrew and pull the panel back. Can be a bit tricky.
Hej Alexander. Den lyser utan modifikationer. Rent elektriskt kopplar man in en kontakt i kretskortet som sitter på. Och som då ger ström till lyset i spaken. Har inte hört att det ska skilja något annat än på 2013-spaken som visar med en lysdiod vilket läge man är i. Den har tydligen ett annat kretskort i sig.
Hi Chris. I’m not sure I understand the last step after “many months later”. How did you actually remove the old part and put in the new lever? I understood all the other disassembly perfectly. Thanks for sharing!!
Hello Pablo. I know its a jump between last step of remowal. ☺️. The actual lever module is fitted with 4 nuts. And then the wire from gearbox, its a white plastic part which you press right on and at same time try to disassemble the wire. If you are not in a rush, wait until I upload another video, more detailed as I have bought another Volvo were I will make the change.
Ok, great. Its not hard to change, just some screws and nuts.And of course the awareness of removing the wire. I have seen these gear lever on Aliexpress. But to a high price, like 240€. I bought mine for 70€
Hello Mirage. I am not sure about the fitting between V40 and and P3 platform (S60/V70/S80). I think I have seen that it should fit in a forum, but as said, not sure.
I cant swear on that. But I believe its just plug and play. Its before the facelift (2014), so I would give it a try. Would you also change the airbag? That could be another version between the two.
@dvs615 It fits bolt on. But you need to add 2 wires. From the from the TFT to the OBD connector. And reprogram the car configuration. I have 2 videos on that on my V70 which is the same as the XC60. There is this Czech company, d5t5 than offers reprogramming in easy steps with their software. They crack the checksum code in order to program, and then a step by step guide for the TFT adaption.
Hej. Nej ingen kodning, inte för mig i alla fall. Det är nog högst troligt att det går att byta på en XC60. Men kan inte garantera det.. Det var bara byta. Andra har haft svårt att få bort själva vajerfästet, men det är bara att trycka in plastfästet och dra ut.
Hey Fella, I was wondering if you disconnect the battery? I have a xc60 2009/10 P3. Do you have Instagram or twitter so I can DM you please about one or two of your other videos. Maybe don't post an email here, but I would be so greatful. I'm in Sweden as well. Your videos are so great. I'm going to try the indicator fix next. Do I need to worry about the airbag with that? Same above question applies. Battery off? Will that effect a retrofit TFT. I plan to do that also... Basically all your videos.
Hello. You can send me a pm on jagrullar forum.. I guess you are In that forum. User chrippa1. To answer your question; I did not disconnect battery when changing gear lever. When fixing the indicator you dont need to worry about the airbag. ( but its good that you think about that as you should respect the airbags). There is no problem If you disconnect battery when having TFT retrofit. I have done that several times. As I can reset error codes, I dont worry if I create them when working on the car.
@@swedemake5571 I will be sure to message you at the weekend. Thanks. I just re-watched this and you actually do say you unplugged the batter. I think I missed it the first time. I'll disconnect just to be safe, Any chance you know if you can add/change the internal language to English? I don't have vida/Dice yet!! Sitting on the fence. If I'm brave enough for the TFT. My Swedish is ok. I just want to the convenience haha .
Hello. I dont understand what you mean by internal language,. Do you mean the cars language? If so I think you can do that ith Vdash. You need dice with vdash when changing to TFT.
Hi GL. Do you mean the 2011 upgrade or exchange the old fashioned wood-look? I am awaiting a package from China where I will have optical light stripes. So you did awake some thoughts that might need to be realized at same time.
