- Angle gear installation/replacement: 3 to 4 hours ($250 / $800 / $1,650)
I installed an angle gear box in a late 1998 Volvo V70 XC (Cross Country). This process is the same for many AWD Volvo cars.

ROBERT YOUR DA MAN!!!! I GOT STUCK LAST NIGHT AS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I JUST HERE A SPINNING GRINDING SOUND AND THE CAR WONT MOVE. I BELIEVE MY ANGLE SLEEVE IS STRIPPED.
Ouch!
A very capable but humble man. Thank you.
you are welcome.
Robert, I love the detail and simplicity with which you explain the task at hand. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Robert, thank so so much for this movie. I really enjoy listning. great learning.
+C. G. You are welcome
Another great video tutorial Rob, I cant wait to get my own Volvo
Thanks for watching
Thanks so much Robert. I've learned a lot from you!
You are welcome
A tip, you’re meant to use epoxy on the splined sleeve so that they don’t bang together and wear off creating drive failure.
Interesting.
Hey Robert. I love what you do! I have a problem. I have a 2000 XC70. It has the 4speed automatic transmission. I replaced the angle gear sleeve and the seal. Part numbers for the seal were the same for the National and Timken name brand 710740. I’ve replaced it multiple times but it continues to leak. Upon examining the old sleeve with some new seals that I have not installed yet they do not appear to ride tightly on the sleeve. I did replace the O rings that go along with the seal and sleeve. The leak is coming from the transmission side. The seal is no longer available from Volvo. Any thoughts?
What is the Volvo part number?
@@RobertDIY that’s a great question. I asked myself the same thing. EVERY parts diagram I’ve found doesn’t list it in the callout. It will show it in the diagram/pic, but not identify or give a part number. Im going to swing by the Volvo dealership and ask them directly. I’ll let you know what I discover. Thanks for getting back to me.
cool. The seal has a size, maybe you can find one with a different ID.
Love your helpful videos rob!
Thanks for watching
Hola que tal estoy tratando de colocar la doble traccion en mi volvo v70 xc año 98 misma que la tuya y no pude sacar la pieza dentada que ya estaba colocada para ppner la nueva? Aflojando los tornillos como mostraste deberia salir bien y luego tirando? No hay ninguna herramienta especial como para sacar la 4x4? Gracias
¿No entiendo lo que dices que estás instalando? ¿El eje de transmisión? No se requieren herramientas especiales.
How do you find the how do you take the transmission pan down to get the dipstick up
I don't even know what kind of car you have.
thanks Robert always helpful
Thanks for watching.
Did your collar gear come right out. Mine did with just some wiggles. There are a lot of horror stories out there about people drilling holes in the side of it and using big pullers to get it out!
I was surprised to see the flywheel teeth right there. Thinking this is how crud gets splashed up to the collar gear and causes them to fail. When I took out the collar gear, the transmission fluid that came out looked like it had red mud in it, so that is getting a complete flush.
$65 for a used angle gear? I think you could make a living pulling those and shipping them out! An already pulled one here in Sacramento is $600!!
Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Rod R Thanks. Yes I have considered a side shot with AG's and heads. lol
My S60 control arms bolts had more room to fit a 3/8 drive ratchet and 17mm socket. Guess it is a platform difference even though it looks identical to the P80.
David Bello Good deal. They need to make them easier to service.
@@RobertDIY yeah, so tight on the p80's
Hey Robert when changing the fluid in the angle gear do you fill it until fluid starts to come out of the opening and close it up? Or do you need to remove a little bit of the fluid prior to reinstalling the drain/fill plug? Also i know Volvo fluid is recommended but can i use any synthetic 75/90w oil?
Yes. Yes. Also, that fluid should NEVER need to be changed. Topped off if leaking, changed if some repairs are done. But you are free to double check with some mechanics.
It seems like I've got transmission fluid leaking from where the shaft meets the angle gear. I'm a little confused because its transmission fluid and not angle gear oil. Could it be CV axel seals? It seems to be coming from that area above the oil cooler (I have a 99 wagon) and collecting on the silver box at the base of the angle gear. Any ideas?
Clean it up and see where it is coming from.
Robert, what is the easiest way to remove the seal in the angle gear where the collar meets the transmission.
+Dan Graham Not sure, can you hook it out with a allen wrench or something?
I missed the removal of the sleeve? Or did you skip the hardest part
the part that simply slides off?
Not sure, but i think it would be better to use a piece of wood/plywood/board between the jackstand and and the oilpan----(was not sure what material u were using, looked like a stone material and not covering as much of that area as a larger piece would have?)
Wood
Is it the same proses for 850 awd?
Yes
Thanks for filming!
My v70xc was converted to FWD. I removed the angle gear and the sleeve pulled out easily. There's some minor wear on the splines but the car drives fine in FWD. Do I still need to replace the sleeve even if I plan to continue running it in FWD?
You need to put something in there to avoid transmission fluid leak.
Is the angel gear in a 98 v70r different than one on a 98 xc?
Maybe. That year used 2 angel gears.
if you setup the trans same as a fwd car, wont it seal? Then you use the axle from the front wheel drive car, then can get rid of rear shaft. Let me know if that is correct or not, thanks
+Keith Jenkins not sure I understand what you are asking.
how do you know if the angle gear needs serviced or replaced?
+1_New Friend play
Hopefully quick question: I am strongly assuming bevel or angle gear issue. If I remove JUST the rear drive shaft will it drive in FWD without any issues or do I have to remove more and then seal up some areas. If so, which parts and where can I get this seal? The wagon (2005 xc70) shakes SOMETIMES after accelerating and/or when recovering from a turn, it never does it everytime but if wobbles like a tire is ready to fall off then... another turn or two then nothing.
Just the shaft.
Hallelujah!
lol ;)
ooow no end message, i feel robbed ha ha :-D
Those side bolts look like a shit to get to, i would wonder if putting the bolts in the other way so a nut and washer on the inside would be nicer for future fun.
Pity they didnt do it that way from new, bad volvo lol.
Ive never looked into what a "quart" actually is in uk pints or litres but im not likely to ever come across oil sold that way in the uk.
zx8401ztv Google will show you the quart way. lol
Can the gear of XC90 2004 model be repaired or I should get new gear.
Most people replace them.
Newton Meters Rob.
Marcin Laszkiewicz OK.
Is the angle gear from a late 98 V70 compatible with an early 98 V70?
Nope.
Would’ve been much better if you showed the removal. It’s a bitch of a job. Just saying there’s a bolt here, here and here doesn’t help at all.
Would you like a refund?
Robert DIY probably not a smart ass reply.
front tire is a slick.....
It got 4 new tires after the work was done.

I thought you used all synthetic products?
Tony M Not sure I follow you?
Tony M he did in the angle gear, not sure about the walmart tranny fluid.
I'm doing this same thing on my S60 AWD. There is a special Volvo oil 1161745 for this angle gear. The Tranny fluid, at least for my 2004 Aisin is supposed to meet the 3309 spec. Best deal is Mobil 3309 that I got $69 a case of 12 qts. Dealer price is crazy, Toyota price better.
Lil late but couldn't you have just swapped to a FWD trans seal and FWD passenger CV axle, gets rid of the bevel gear sleeve entirely.
I doubt it but I'll look into it.
@@RobertDIY i was always wondering that too! would still love to know
Nm = Newton meters...
thanks for sharing.
