My seemingly trouble-free Volvo ('90 240DL) recently stopped shifting gears (auto trans) - found out that there was NO transmission fluid in the sump. After quickly refilling with fluid, I determined that the seal surrounding the output shaft was leaking - and after looking at a few parts diagrams, I will probably have to replace the bushing as well. The vibration from the driveshaft is now a loud howl at anything over 15 mph, so I'm guessing the sooner I do this the better.
Does anyone know the size of the coupling flange nut? I saw a couple of previous posts stating 30mm, but I thought just to be safe I'd ask here anyway.
Also any tips or advice on this bushing/seal replacement would really be appreciated, I'm planning a full weekend to do this thing to allow for any unexpected "problems" that might surface.
Thanks everyone,
