Thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I have been looking at a lot of videos and reading about it, and I am video chronicling my progress. When I get it all figured out I will be posting my own vids on reddit. The 03 xc90 t6 is very different than the other volvo's. It has a chain drive attached to the angle gear and its packed in real tight, and no other videos out there
@@crespo8369 No. Never got it done. Because of the larger motor and twin turbo on this model, the angle gear will not fit out the bottom. The only way to do it is to yank the whole stack, or remove the whole subframe and drop the stack out the bottom. These models have a completely inferior transmission system, and are not worth rebuilding anyways. I will probably junk this vehicle. Pile of happy horseshit. Fucking Chinese Ford Volvo. Nothing like they used to be. Very disappointed and disillusioned with this piece of garbage.
No. You dont have to drain transmission fluid for that. Expect some fluid leak of you would be replacing collar gear sleeve and seal for it@bradleyhovan9390
Triple Edge Performance rebuilt my GM Tranny on my Gifted 2003 XC-90. After Trans install Bevel gear leaked. When removed it was toast. Volvo sold me the Bevel gear for there cost. What else do I need to complete the install? New bolts? Ect. Liked and subcribed! Thank you very much for your hard work!
Just tore into a 2003 volvo xc 90 and have it on blocks and apart to the poi t of bevel gear removal, but can't seem to get to the last few bolts and there's not a lot of room to get it out. Is there a way to finish removing it without pulling the whole stack out?
Just saw your comment. Were you able to get the bevel gear out. I have heard the XC 90 is more difficult than the XC70 and it could be because the turbo interferes with access. I have done several XC70s but never an XC90.
@@cyrielgaemers There are 6, 6mm cap head bolts the hold the drive shaft (that goes from the angle gear to the rear differential) to the output of the angle gear.
Awesome video I have have a 04 xc90 and where the drive shaft meet the transfer case is really loose. The seal is gone. And I'm thinking there's a bushing in there as well. Any suggestions?
Del Shores there will most likely be a bearing that is damaged. Sometime the housing gets damaged as well when the bearing failure occurs. The unit will need rebuilt or replaced if case is damaged.
Working on a 06 Volvo, the box was all broken, shaft was flapping around. went to put the new on but it won’t slide over the collar, the teeth look good, check again with the old box and won’t slide on, any tips to get it back on the collar, or recommend replacing?
I haven’t done one in a few years so I’m a a bit rusty on the process. I think I’ve only replaced one set of lines before and don’t remember the process. Sorry I can’t be more helpful in the procedure.
thanks so much! do you happen to know if the seal between is the one that typically goes? I have a leak but can't tell where the origin is from under the car, but I suspect that seal. thanks again.
There are several seals between the two units. Depending on what fluid is leaking will identify the seal that is bad. ATF or gear oil. It’s harder to tell on manual gearbox vehicles.
I don’t think so since the right front axle slides all the way through the angle gear into the transmission differential. You should still have power to the front but it might make loud noises.
What was the symptoms more exact? My car just lost all RWD, and sounds like a bee-hive underneath ;) No bang, or anything...just the buzz-dynamo-sound.. I am thinking it could be the visco as well.. :(
I cut a groves on the outside of the coupler and used a two jaw puller. I fought it for quite sometime. They do make a special puller that attaches inside the coupler as well.
Thank You Paul, I do not have a transmission removal or left axle shaft video at this time. Most of the failures I see are in the right axle and the bevel gear. If I get the chance to replace a left axle or transmission I will try and get a video of the repair process.
No I am kinda stuck on the last couple of bolts, access to the gear, and chain drive is in the way, two bolts on top under turbo are inaccessible. Doesnt seem to be enough room to get the c drive out anyways. Sway bar could get moved to get it out? It's an interesting and infuriating puzzler
I'm not sure if you can convert the vehicle to front wheel drive by removing the bevel gear. You may have to change the right front axle as well and I can't remember if the FWD version has a support bearing for the RF axle. If so additional brackets may be required
John Jackowiec it’s been years since I have pulled one out of a xc90 but I believe it was very similar to this xc70. There might be a few minor differences.
@@ThePracticalMechanic right now the transfer case is just hanging there. and the way it looks like I have to lower the engine crate or frame to get that bulky case out. just wanted to find out if there is another way.
The xc70 transfercase took the right rotation before it came out but it just barely fit. Can you lift up on the engine slightly to gain some room? You might also be able to unhook the torque mount on top of the engine to be able to rotate the engine slightly in the engine bay to gain some room underneath.
@@ThePracticalMechanic I have to try move engine by tilting toward firewall. otherwise have to lower the right side frame to wiggle out thru right axle opening.
This is t6 6 cyl engine and transfer case is a lot bigger than xc70. the way I should have taken the engine and tranny out in one piece. it is too hard to take all those connection to both turbos. That way everything on the floor will be easy to get the transfer case and both turbos. @@ThePracticalMechanic
You didn't show removal of the collar shaft, this is where 99% of the problems are and its a bugger to get off. I had to remove the fender and heat it up so i could pull it free, slide hammer didnt work.
This would be a very useful video, IF we could actually see any part of the work. Whoever is using the camera needs to give up now, and find someone who has a vague idea of what they are doing.
I believe the words you were looking for were, "thank you for uploading" instead of whining. I found this very helpful. Make your own vid if you think you can do better
always love to watch when a unit is removed by a professional . great video. cheers
Awesome video, no endless talking, No flexing for ratings, No brainless sidekick doing stupid things for ratings, Straight forward!

One of the best video,short and whole information,thank you 🤝
Great technique without removing the exhaust, thanks
Thanks for the reply. Got it out and put back together next is to see how it performs as a fwd
Do you have to drain the transmission fluid before removing the passenger axle?

Great video thank you.
Glad I could help!
Thanks mate, very helpful. 😀
Thank you so much!! Do you have to drain the transmission fluid before removing the passenger axle?
I don’t remember the need to but I normally don’t worry about it on tear down. If it leaks I top it up after the repair.

How many hours labor is it to replace one by a good mechanic?
Dear Sir, do you have a video of how to remove the automatic gear box solenoid from a XC70 or similar volvo?
I’m sorry I do not.

I have a 2000 XC70 the bevel gear is leaking gear oil do I need special tool to change the seals
Getting ready to do my 04 xc70. Need to remove the gear to access the turbo coolant hoses. Have you replaced those hoses before and any tips?
Thanks

There are several seals between the two units. Depending on what fluid is leaking will identify the seal that is bad. ATF or gear oil. It’s harder to tell on manual gearbox vehicles.
Gday Mate... great vid. 😊
Question; "Will the car *Neutralize* if these bevel gears strip completely?"
I don’t think so since the right front axle slides all the way through the angle gear into the transmission differential. You should still have power to the front but it might make loud noises.
I have a 2000 xc70 there is a leak from transmission side that’s leaking bevel gear fluid do you know what seal I need to place
What was the symptoms more exact? My car just lost all RWD, and sounds like a bee-hive underneath ;) No bang, or anything...just the buzz-dynamo-sound.. I am thinking it could be the visco as well.. :(
This one had a growling and whining noise that would change when you accelerate or decelerate.
How do you pull out the spline from the transmission? Special tools?
I cut a groves on the outside of the coupler and used a two jaw puller. I fought it for quite sometime. They do make a special puller that attaches inside the coupler as well.
Why did you remove the bevel gear? I just got a 2004 xc90 that is making bad noise in transmission and moves slow?
This one had a leak and ran out of fluid which destroyed the internals. It was making a lot of noise.
@@ThePracticalMechanic I've the same, what oil doest it run?
@@cyrielgaemers 75W-90 gear oil
If it's the 2.5T, it could be the angel/bevel gear. If it's the T6, it's probably the transmission.
Sorry forgot to mention it's a 99 Volvo v70 xc awd 2.4 ltr turbo
Great video! How about removing the front left drive shaft? Do you also have a continuation to remove the transmission?
Thank You Paul, I do not have a transmission removal or left axle shaft video at this time. Most of the failures I see are in the right axle and the bevel gear. If I get the chance to replace a left axle or transmission I will try and get a video of the repair process.
ThePracticalMechanic ok great thanks, I'm swapping the transmission in my xc70. Either way your video explains the first 50% thanks for filming!
No problem. Best of luck on the transmission swap.
How long did the removal take?
1-1.5 hours for the removal. It could probably be done faster if that top bolt wasn’t so tight.
No I am kinda stuck on the last couple of bolts, access to the gear, and chain drive is in the way, two bolts on top under turbo are inaccessible. Doesnt seem to be enough room to get the c drive out anyways. Sway bar could get moved to get it out? It's an interesting and infuriating puzzler
Did you find a solution to remove the top bevel bolt just under the turbo? :)
@@tjaddejaevel No.
thanks for the video. does the prop shaft need to come out or did you just undo the bolts attaching it to the bevel gear and it moved out of the way?
I think I just moved it out of the way but it’s been a bit. I will check further into it this evening and see if that is required or not.
Trying to remove bevel gear on a s60. I got the 4 bolts out but gear is stuck. Does it matter if car is in park or neutral ?
One vid shows them taking the sub frame out? Is that the only way without pulling the whole stack? What a pain in the a**!
That may be. I have very little experience with the xc90.
Did you drop the oil out of this or is it sealed
I don't remember if we drained the oil or not. the unit has a fill plug but no drain plug.
Is it possible to remove the bevel gearbox in total, if so what oil seal can be used?
Can one drive without the bevel gear at all? I have the 2004 V70R AWD Auto.
I'm not sure if you can convert the vehicle to front wheel drive by removing the bevel gear. You may have to change the right front axle as well and I can't remember if the FWD version has a support bearing for the RF axle. If so additional brackets may be required

When you say unit you mean the transfer case.?
