88 volvo 740 needs trans fluid where does it go in

if that is so your radiator is bad

Hello. i have owned many 740's, 240's, 122's, and 850's. I have done my fair share of transmission swaps. The transmission tag is located right above the trans-oil pan and directly below the od seloind on the drivers-side. if your volvo 740 is a non-turbo, the transmission is AW-70L, if it is a turbo-model then it is AW-71L. Good luck :)

CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID.IF LOOKS BLACK HAS A BURNT SMELL .CHANGE FLUID + FILTER.IF FLUID CHANGE DONT HELP.YOUR SHIFT VALVES IN VALVE BODY STUCK OR SHIFT CABLE NEED ADJUSTING.WHEN YOU DO A FLUID CHANGE YOU CAN BUY A BOTTLE OF TRANSMISSION CONDITIONER IT FREE STUCK SHIFT VALVES IN VALVE BODY.I WOULD ADD 1/2 OF IT WITH NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID.DONT OVER FILL TRANSMISSION WHEN YOU ADD IT IN.

There should be a metal plate on the left side of the trans with the part number.

check overdrive or shift fuses. look in owners manual for location

The trans fluid goes down the tube that has the trans dipstick in it.A firm fitting hose,funnel and a bit of patience is needed to refill.The fluid does drain in slowly.Hope this helps

on the bottom belt pully at a 5 o-clock position

The problem wont be your timing belt. you need to take out a spark plug plug it into your HT lead and check for a strong spark or even if there is a spark. check your contact breakers on the distributor as well

Run the engine til hot, check the transmission fluid... If it is dark/dirty red and smells bad, it needs to be changed. If it hasnt been changed in your knowledge in the last 40,000 miles, change it anyway. If that doesnt fix it and the fluid was very smelly even after u changed it and ran it for an hour on the road, the trans may have to be rebuilt. There are some treatments you can add and many do work well, so go to autozone or Napa and check em out. I would recommend high mileage additives anyway if the mileage is high as you'll get more life out of the transmissio...hope that helps...if so rate me..

the trans pan might just need a touch up on the bolts , cold weather will shrink the gasket a little bit , if you cant do it yourself , find someone thats handy to just touch up the bolts 1/4 to 1/2 turn on any that will move easly good luck
