NEU Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 The last two '00 XC's I have worked on were both 5 speeds - I haven't seen a '00 with a 4 speed for comparison.There are 2 right axles listed for '00:8251521 (8601580)8251523 (8601589) this one says '00-, so perhaps the 521 is '00 4 speed auto, which should be a direct fit for the M66 AWD, but I'd need to see one to determine that.IIRC '00XC came in 4 and 5 speed depending on when they were build, early built '00 were 4 and later were 5. I've seen a 4 speed '00XC so I know those exist, but I've never seen a 5 speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Binding CV due to lack of grease/cooked - typical cause of vibrationCV componentsRe-assembled, ready for CV grease - note markings to ensure correct reassemblyIs it possible to do the above with the rear CV joint that connects the tail shaft to the torque tube/viscous coupling?

lookforjoe Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Is it possible to do the above with the rear CV joint that connects the tail shaft to the torque tube/viscous coupling?Yes, the boot kit is the same as the front. I've used a (good) rear boot to repair a bad front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yes, the boot kit is the same as the front. I've used a (good) rear boot to repair a bad front...For my '99-00 driveshaft the cv joints are the same front or rear. Some parts places say front or rear are different, but they are both the same part #. I had an old DS with a dead front CV joint that the boot fell apart, my new shaft had a bad CV but the boot was OK, so I just pieced together one good joint with all the good spare parts, saved me $280+ for the replacement kit...

lookforjoe Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Had an '00 XC 5 speed auto today that I replaced the right axle on. Perfect timing for this thread!What's curious is that the aftermarket replacement is sold under 8251520 (7807N) which is actually the Volvo PN for the '99 AWD axle. The axle I removed is 9463351 which is replaced by 8601589 and then 8251523. WorldPac supercedes the 8251523 to 8251521, which DOES NOT fit! The 521 has the 7" shoulder, which fits the '99! It took two days & three orders to identify the correct axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEU Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I've got a new update for driveshafts and replacement cv joints. Volvo has 2 different cv joints, depending on whether it's an original driveshaft or an OEM replacement. The original driveshaft has 19 splines, the OEM replacement has 20 splines. I found out the hard way today when I went to replace the cv for my OEM replacement driveshaft I got a couple years ago and it wouldn't fit. Some places are aware of the differences between the 19 and 20 spline shafts, but most aren't and the majority of replacement parts are the 19 (original shaft) spline.Not sure if this applies to any others years then my '00.

Big Will Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yes that's correct and some of the parts houses correctly state that their replacement kit if for original shafts only. Does Volvo actually have a kit for the remanufactured ones with the 20 splines? For some reason I think they only have them for the originals.

JRL Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (This is for Hussein)No you did not, there are NO 5 speed XCs PERIOD in 2000/The shift pattern looks like the 5 speeds, that what throws people off(It did me for years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not interchangeable.Yes that's correct and some of the parts houses correctly state that their replacement kit if for original shafts only. Does Volvo actually have a kit for the remanufactured ones with the 20 splines? For some reason I think they only have them for the originals.Volvo sells both versions. The replacement shafts have joints marked NTN instead of LobroAt 300 a pop, I'd think twice about buying just a new CV, the reman shafts make more sense if you can't refurbish what you have with a new boot & fresh grease (has worked for me with several joints - ColoradoDS sells the boot/flange) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRL Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Why?Who knows why Volvo does/did what they do, but all 2000s have the later shifter.Look, as I said, I finally figured it out after a couple of years of thinking all 2000 XCs had 5 speeds when they don't!!Look at a 2000 GLT, S or V70, same shifter but still a 4 speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right, if someone has an original shaft get the rebuild with high mileage vs. rebuilding the CV, let this be a lesson for folks to keep your all your motor mounts in good shape or then will destroy your CV.

Tyler T5R Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Are those two 1998 front right CV axles interchangeable? I just got one from NAPA that looks like the one labeled 7". I have an 'early 98' V70R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Are those two 1998 front right CV axles interchangeable? I just got one from NAPA that looks like the one labeled 7". I have an 'early 98' V70R. Which two '98? The bottom is '98, the next is '99 - the difference between them is the outer connection to the hub. "98 has the large nut, '99 has a small bolt with integral washer. The rest of the shaft is identical between the two. All 97-98 AWD use the same style right axle - manuals just have a beefier outer CV shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
