Volvo 700 » Tailshaft Bushing Repair Kit

A worn tailshaft bushing is a common failure in Volvo automatic transmissions that leads to fluid leaks and eventual clunking under load. Replacing the seal may stop the leak for a few weeks, but if any discernable play can be felt in the tail shaft, the bushing must be replaced to prevent future leaks and more serious damage to the transmission. It is necessary to remove the entire tail shaft housing to press out the bushing and press in a replacement.
