Shifter Detent Ball Catch, M66 - P1 S40 V50 C30 C70 P2 S60R V70R
Genuine Volvo 30751399 - 142124
Product Description
Spring-loaded shifter detents (called "ball catches" in Volvo speak) are primarily responsible for the chunky, springy feeling you get when you move the shifter in to a gear, giving you tactile feedback that you've completed the gear change and holding the shifter in place so it doesn't move out of gear without some pressure from your hand.
On M66 6-speed manual cars like the P2R and P1, this particular detent screws in to the shift selector on top of the transmission, and is responsible for the 5th and 6th gear detent feedback. It's popular to unscrew this detent to use as a fill port on M66s due to its relatively easy under-hood access, so if yours is lost or damaged, this Genuine Volvo replacement will get your top gears feeling good again.
Additional Technical Information
An additional detent is located on the left side of the transmission, forward of the left axle.

Many may not know this but Volvo in Latin roughly translates to "to roll". The company was founded back in 1927 by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson as a spin-off from ball-bearing manufacturer SKF. While the Volvo logo looks like the biology symbol for male, it's really the Swedish symbol for Iron. With a nod to its heritage in alloys, Volvo chose a logo that depicted a ring bisecting at one o’clock. Today Volvo is known around the world as one of the most iconic brands known for safety, longevity, and its enthusiast following.
