Gearbox
Hi there,
I am owning a 2001 V40 estate and have to exchange the nearside driveshaft. After taking it out i noticed a recess on the otherwise round opening where the driveshaft fits in. So i was wondering if anyone has a photo of a 2001 V40 estate gearbox with the nearside driveshaft removed? I then could see if my gearbox looks 'NORMAL' Every help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jorg |

Which gearbox ? .. If it's a manual gearbox, it could either be a volvo gearbox, or a renault gearbox ? If it's a volvo gearbox, reverse will be over to the right below 5th gear, if it's a renault gearbox, reverse is over to the left next to 1st gear ?

This type of renault gearbox, for some odd reason has a completely different driveshaft type on the left, to what it has on the right.
Here is a picture of the left side of the renault gearbox. (Ignore the damage to the tin cover, that was caused by UPS) |

Mine has that recess on the right hand side. So it looks like it is 'normal' to have a recess there ( maybe for oil circulation?) Thanks a lot for your help - i will put in my new driveshaft tomorrow and, knock on wood, i can drive again!! Last edited by jorgibear; May 7th, 2022 at 18:40. |

It's been a few years since I swapped my gearbox, so I can't remember the numbers on it. But my V40 is a 1.8, the gearbox in the picture is from a 1.6, as I couldn't find a 1.8 gearbox at the time, but it was a straight swap with no issues with fitment & parts compatibility. My original drive shaft from the 1.8 fits in to the 1.6 gearbox & is still ok several thousand miles on.

That is just a bog standard tripod joint. It runs in the gearbox oil for lubrication and the rubber bellows on the drive shaft forms the oil seal.
