03 V70 Vin#

YV1SW61T332289073
I think this Vin# indicates a manual Transmission. Am I wrong?
The 3 after the T

03 V70 Vin#

USA cars do not have a tranny type designation in the VIN. You have to look at the center console. Of course, it could have a retrofit manual box. No one will replace a manual box with an auto.

i've plugged your vin into a ViDA program and it gives two options for the transmission. The manual and the automatic. I'm surprised it didn't populate with either one.

the first 3 (9th digit) would indicate a M58 transmission if you were outside the northern Hemisphere. I'm not working out if the check digit would be 3 or not, but it could also be the check digit if you're in CAN/US.

If you'd like to do the math and see if its 3 (if not, then its probably a Manual)

I got this info from here
http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/vin_70.shtml
They don't mention anything about a check #
but show the 9th # as a gearbox code.

Keep scrolling down on the gearbox category, they mention it.. Also, the check digit does come out to 3.

I'm not saying it isn't a manual, just that the vin doesn't tell you either way.
