Mesoam Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 That is what I was concerned about. Nobody has stated what I thought might be obvious. Thanks←I don't know what the deal with the s80 tranny is but the number 1 cause for tranny failure is excessive heat...aka give jegs a call for an external cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not just the heat but a poorly built transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWinkey Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Doesnt the s80T6 have a horrible transmission. From what I've heard a chip or modified ECU will decrease your transmission life considerably.←You can thank GM for that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenW Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Chip it.Drive it.Enjoy it.And watch those punks in the Evo's frown after they blow by you on the I-5 and you toe into the throttle and whiz by em at 130 never looking over at their little wanton four banger.

Bay13 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Volvo makes a extra trans cooler for the S80, the part number for the entire kit with all the lines, cooler and hardware that you would need. The part number is 8649607. I'd give http://www.fcpgroton a call and see what the price is.I have the Volvo extra oil cooler for the S/V/C 70 installed on my 850.

volvo4lif3 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 so buying an external oil cooler would considerably help my tranny from failure due to excessive heat? I might just have to give them a call then, hopefully its not too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
