The crystal/plastic has totally cracked apart on the head of my gear shift ****. I have identified 2 different part numbers for new gear shift ***** that both seem to be compatible with my 2015 V60 2.0. Part number 31454423 and 31367826. The VolvoCars parts site says both fit. How is that possible? What's the difference between the two parts? And my second question is if the boot also needs to be purchased in order to replace the **** (one site said boot is required). I'd like to avoid that if possible. And if I need the boot, is it the lower boot, part 31329957 or just the whole boot, part 31367427. Or both... Or neither of them and just the ****? Appreciate the assistance.

 

Hi there - I just picked up a 2015.5 V60 Cross Country and the gear shift **** on mine has the same issue - the clear plastic is cracked and I would like to replace it. Did you end up solving the mystery on the part? Appreciate any info you have to share. Thanks!

 

I spoke to my Volvo mechanic as well as a body shop and both told me there is no way to replace just the ****. The entire shift mechanism and boot need replacement. And it is a complicated job to remove the existing parts without creating damage. My recollection is that I was quoted about $425 for parts and labor. I contemplated ordering the parts myself but there is conflicting info on what is needed. And not sure the savings is all that much. I have not yet made the repair due to the cost for something primarily cosmetic. I did find a clear plastic/vinyl removable adhesive to place over the area and cut it to size. It works pretty well.

 

My 2015 has the same issue. Might this be a warranty issue? I do have an extended warranty but the dealer said it was considered 'cosmetic' and I would have to pay and quoted $350

 

Part number 31367826 seems to be the polestar version of the shifter **** while the 31454423 is the standard one. As far as the boot goes, I can't help much there. The polestar **** looks to be for automatic transmissions but I don't have an image on the other one.

Definitely an easily replaceable item; I purchased the shift **** online (around $100 as I recall) - but just popped off the face and replaced the one in my car. You just need a plastic tool to pry it off (it does require some force - but make sure to use something plastic - not a metal tool as you’ll probably cause cosmetic damage to the plastic).

 

Same situation with my '15 V60. To the poster who said they bought one online and popped the face off... What do you mean by face?

 

I'm disappointed with the videos posted at the University of YouTube. I did find one that shows a **** acrylic part being separated using a plastic tool... and having it replaced that way... but was a ****ty video and I'm not certain that it will work. I will keep digging.... my shifter is like an angry mole on the face of a hot chick... not good.
