prasamin Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Posted December 17, 2006 Just an update: I found the part number for the center console bezel for a 98 V70: There are a number of different colors available of course but the one that matches my interior and I imagine most normal interiors is called "plastic" and it's number is: 9192844Cost of the part is in the realm of $45-50 new.oh man, I completely forgot about getting the pn for you. glad you found it!

prasamin Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Posted December 17, 2006 Wow, this is awesome.funny that it's still not pinned huh?
vandalan Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 so would the 94-98 850 n/a or turbo manual tranny work with the 98 s70glts?
Keaton85 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 so would the 94-98 850 n/a or turbo manual tranny work with the 98 s70glts?are you looking to do a swap or do you need a tranny for your car?
Big Will Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 Yes the tranny will work on your 98 S70. Assuming you're in the US where those didn't come in a manual trans you are looking to do a swap correct?Good luck. Merry Christmas everyone.

spottieottie Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 My .02 cents.Parts sources:Clutch master cylinder: Eeuroparts. ~ $100Slave cylinder: Myswedishparts.com ~ $50R clutch: Fcp groton ~ $300Throwout bearing: Myswedishparts.com ~ $45Shifter cables (if needed): Myswedishparts.com ~ $100Clutch hose: (buy new) Myswedishparts.com~ $50You can reuse the flywheel bolts if they look to be in good shape, and look like they haven't been out before. Mine were perfect just reinstall with a little locktite. Pressure plate bolts are cheap and you can buy them at Napa. do it.Use Mobil 1 or similar 75-90 gear oil, don't waste your money on the Volvo oilMake sure you resurface the flywheel, all else Pras already explained. :D
Big Will Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 the 98 S70 didnt come in a 5spd? ummm idono if im on the same page here... 98 S70 T5M FTW!He said an "S70 GLT"Therefore it did not come in a 5spd in the U.S. since that is a LPT.
prasamin Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Posted December 25, 2006 thanks for the extra info Brad!Every penny saved helps!
Keaton85 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 He said an "S70 GLT"Therefore it did not come in a 5spd in the U.S. since that is a LPT.In my book the only reason to even bother with a manual swap is if they were never made, like the 850s in the States... It would be cheaper and easyer to just sell a GLT and buy a T5M
