Fits my 2009 S40 in spares

Good product, fits in place. Find videos on YouTube for installation. Removing all parts of the console is 99% of the job. It just fits.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Confused

Ease of installation is best in Spares

Excellent quality product. Delivered exactly what they promised. The process of installing the switch cover is a little time consuming, but installing and closing is a breeze.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Fixes the manual function

Can't shift the machine manually? The magnet on it is what you need to attach it. They often break down on Volvos and this one is no different. However, if you have good wrenching skills, this is an easy fix.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Annoys me

You can do this with some sand.

As all the reviews show you can find a youtube video and some forums to point you in the right direction on the best way to install this. You don't have to be good with tools, just relax and be determined to get things done. It took about 45 minutes in total. It's not worth paying the dealer a bunch of dollars for it.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • No Insurance

Fixed shift disengagement for driving and leaving park

My car will not move out of park or neutral unless I manually disengage the shift lock. I wasn't sure if this part would solve the problem. The original was broken in the shift mechanism. It contains a magnet that contains a reading switch. After the replacement everything worked perfectly. The swap took about an hour as it takes time to figure out how to disassemble it.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Some minor issues

Perfect fit for my 2005 Volvo S40. A decade later.

Fits my 2005 Volvo S40 perfectly. After ten years of use, my previous one cracked and there was a visible hole under the shifter. Instructions found on Youtube (search "Replace Volvo S40 Geartronic Sensor"). It wasn't difficult to replace. The hardest part was figuring out how to remove the shift knob. The video was misleading. Almost broke my wrist. You need to make sure the diagonal line on the barrel of the pen lines up with the notches on the inside of this twist cap. I hope that makes…

Pros
  • understandable even for the old ones
Cons
  • Bad instructions

Easy installation, especially if you know how to remove the shift knob.

Took me literally 25 minutes from start to finish on my 2007 C70. It helps that I've removed the waterfall several times. The hardest part is removing the gear selector knob, which is really easy once you know how. If you insert the key and put the gearing in the neutral position, the threaded part at the bottom can be moved much further down under the slots of the handle itself. Then it pops out with a little effort. I've read that people just loosen it (1/4 turn or so) and then pull as tight…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Speed

Exact replacement in body

Great replacement for my shifter latch. It took about 45 minutes to replace this shift curtain. .Now it only remains to be seen how it holds up in the near future. Yeah, these things always break for some weird reason. But it's easy to replace. Just a pain to replace them as it requires very small steps. But generally everyone can replace this item in their car, just follow the video provided online to help you. # Note # When you buy this product, you also buy a door panel and a radio tool kit.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Some trouble

Gear selector switch from automatic to manual now works

Perfect works part. I just bought a used 2008 Volvo C30, this part was completely gone, I put it in and now my car had the option to shift manually. After I removed the waterfall center stack, shift knob and pads, the original piece broke 1/2 and split. I vacuumed up all the little bits and pieces and the magnet that allows the automator's manual selector switch to work. Be sure to install this smooth side up and the magnetic sliding part on the driver's side. You can find instructions on how…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • So-so
