Hi.New to this forum.I've owned several volvos over the years.240,740,940,c30.just got a 2003 c70,113k.no maintenance records so I don't know if the timing belt has ever been replaced.I've always used eEuroparts for parts and have usually been satisfied with them.so I'm sure I'll continue with them
My question is,the tranny sometimes bangs from 2nd-3rd or hesitates a moment.and then when braking and it shifts down it bangs.I'm sure that's not good.it's an automatic.I can't find the dipstick to check the fluid.owners manuel shows me where it's supposed to be but nothing is there.nor can I find one anywhere.appreciate any and all comments both pro and con on this car

It can have a red or yellow plastic loop at the end. On a turbo it's partly hidden by the tube.

This one is yellow. You also need to follow the proper procedure to accurately check it. I know with mine I'll usually check it a couple times after it's been driven again just to compare the readings.

 

thank you I know it's supposed to be there but it's not

 

found this post "it is very hard to find, it is on the lower front side of the transmission/toward the front-end of car, under the large radiator hose is a small harness line that hides this cap, it is very hard to see or locate unless u know exactly where it is located."

 

It's really unlikely but maybe you're missing the whole tube.
Have you slid under it and tried to see if you can see the dipstick tube coming out of the trans body ??

 

Well,I found the tranny dipstick,and then promptly proceeded to break it while returning it in the tube. How screwed am I? I'm hoping its just sitting in the tube and hasn't fallen down into the pan.any suggestions?

 

you should be able to remove the tube to do the R+R...
