Man...if you lived in Iowa I'd buy you a steak dinner. VERY helpful and confidence-building! This got my manual-mode working and ready for a trip to the Rockies! Thanks again!
thanks a lot bro i just replaced mine today! a small tip for anyone doing this: when putting the gear knob back in place, first put the ring in the knob's shaft (but don't insert it fully on the knob, just enough to be around the closing plastic 'skirts' - otherwise you wont be able to put the whole set back in the main shaft). After that, insert the set into the shaft till the end. Once in the shaft, you just rotate the ring clockwise and upwards very easily and its gonna close it properly.
Magnet polarity makes a difference. 2009 C30. I bought a blind, but once fitted the manual gear selection did not show. I removed it, put the original magnet slider in the new blind and it worked. The original slider was marked POM3, the new one POM2. if you put the faces of the two sliders togther, they attract, if they were both the same polarity they would repel.
I replaced the Shift Blind (thanks, your video matches the model I have most closely) but after I put it all back together, the Manual Mode still doesn't work. What could have gone wrong?
@@WrenchingMafia I don't think it could go the other way; if the magnet were down, it would bend the part and it wouldn't fit. It's possible to insert the slider into the blind inverted, but then the blind wouldn't fit back on the shifter.
Hello, I noticed a small silver magnet located in the top left area when you first lifted the lower cover off, but it is gone when you put the shifter blind back on. Was that magnet leftover from the previous blind?
CAUTION: WARNING: Great video save 1 item. Gearshift knob breaks if removed this way. Mine now spins. Volvo said the entire console must be removed, remove parts from bottom up To do it properly.! I now have hundreds to spend to replace the knob. Dealer did say use JB plastic steel to cement the collar to the knob, then collar to shaft as a cheap fix.
Question mate from across the pond UK 🇬🇧 can I swap a manual console for an automatic console in other words move one from one car to the other car they are both s40s. But one is a manual and the other is an auto. Thanks for your answer in advance. Great video by the way
@@WrenchingMafia ahh I didn't think of that. I've got 2 volvo's and the 2.4 console is aluminum and has some dents in it. While the 1.8 has a wood affect which I really like. It's a shame I couldn't just take the wood effect one and just put it over the one with aluminum . It looks like I'm going to have to put my hand in my pocket and by the wood effect one. Thanks for your help once again and I had subscribed ✔👍🏿
@@WrenchingMafia quick question mate. If i take out a single CD player and put in a 6 CD player will it work. Oh and I'm still fighting to get the harness wire out to connect it to the amp. From my old Volvo s40 1.8 to put it into the 2.4 Volvo 😁 thanks for your help 🇬🇧
Did he not put the blind in upside down? On My C30 the smooth side was down. Now it's destroyed and I have the replacement part. Why I'm watching this video.

You are correct glad you caught it

HAs the old magnet stuck to the shifter, I seen this happen before
The Shifter Blind is upside down but other than that Thank You So Much for a flawless Step by Step guide ! You made it so easy and fast
I keep in reviewing the video I dnt understand the upside down part

@@morganahoff2242 I seen where the old magnet fell apart and got stuck in there, also did you make sure you cleaned everything very well

What do you mean
Cambie la pieza , pero sigue igual. Lo compre alternativo, es mucha diferencia con el original?? O será algún fusible
Hi Gio how can you order the part, do you recommend a website.
Best bet is to ordered it through your dealership lifetime warranty
Very helpfull!!
What is that Sensor called

Yes he did. I just did it in my 2008 S 40 and his directions were upside down
On my 2010 S40 the smooth side is up, just replaced it today and I double checked it as the broken bits were all smooth side up
Yes thank you..with smooth side down even fits better in the tract and I put light lube grease on it
I can’t get the knob off??
Wait.... So is it smooth side up or down?! Lol
Bruh I fucking penny got under there. Shits annoying frfr but thanks for the video
I got the problem and will NOT do that tutorial because it's crazy to dismantle a whole car for this but thanks anyway
Lol the back of my handbrake is broken too
Oh no
