AF40 Pump 2007-2015, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the AF40. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 2007-2015 Volvo S80, V70, XC70, XC60 or XC90, or a Saab with the six-speed automatic, now waits a beat before it pulls into Drive or Reverse, feels soft in every gear once the fluid is hot, or carries a whine that rises and falls with engine speed, the front oil pump is one of the parts to check. AF40 is the name GM, Opel and Saab gave the Aisin TF-80SC, the same transaxle Volvo installed behind most of its five-cylinder engines and all of its six- and eight-cylinder engines from 2005 to 2016. This listing is a remanufactured OEM AF40 pump for 2007-2015 units, sold with a 1-year warranty, so a worn pump can be replaced as a complete assembly instead of being rebuilt on the bench.
The pump sits at the very front of the case, directly behind the torque converter, and it is turned by the converter hub any time the engine runs. Volvo's own technical newsletter places it there and notes that it is reached once the converter has been pulled. Every other system in this transaxle lives on the oil it moves. The TF-80SC is a clutch-to-clutch design, with three clutches and two brakes working a front planetary and a Ravigneaux set, and the valve body in the pan uses that pump flow to build system pressure, apply each clutch at the exact moment the previous one lets go, lock the converter, and feed the external cooler. A pump that has lost volume does not just affect one shift. It starves all of them, and the problem gets worse as the fluid thins with heat.
Rule out the cheaper causes first. Check the fluid level the Volvo way: with the fluid at 50 to 60 C, it should just drip from the level pipe plug in the bottom of the pan. A low level from a leaking B1 servo cover or pan gasket produces the same slow, slipping feel as a weak pump. Next, read codes and reset the adaptations with a scan tool that talks to the transmission module. If the complaint stays, a line pressure gauge separates the possibilities: pressure that is low in Park and Neutral as well as in gear points toward the pump, while pressure that is erratic or too high usually comes from a worn main pressure regulator bore in the valve body. Our Aisin slipping under load guide walks through that test order, and the Aisin overheating prevention guide covers what heat does to pump clearances.
This pump is listed for AF40 / TF-80SC transaxles in 2007-2015 applications. Aisin built this unit for Volvo, Saab, Opel, Ford, Mazda, Land Rover and Peugeot-Citroen, and the case shape changes with the engine it sits behind, so the vehicle name alone does not prove a match. The closely related TF-81SC is a separate unit and its parts should not be assumed to swap. Compare the bolt pattern, stator shaft and casting numbers on your old pump with the photo, read the model code from the plate on top of the transmission, and send us your year and VIN if anything does not line up. You can browse the rest of our Aisin parts on the Aisin transmission parts page.
The transaxle has to come out of the car and the converter off before the pump can be unbolted. Fit a new front seal, lubricate the pump gears with fresh fluid and torque the bolts evenly in a cross pattern so the housing seats square. Inspect the converter hub before it goes back in; a scored or grooved hub will chew through a new bushing and seal. Because a failed pump often leaves debris in the valve body, look hard at the bores, and if the pressure regulator is worn, a TF-80SC valve body may be the right companion part. On a high-mileage unit that is out anyway, an AF40 rebuild kit adds the seals and frictions. Fill with the Aisin type fluid Volvo specifies for your build, set the level at 50 to 60 C, and then reset the transmission adaptations so the module relearns its clutch fill times. Our adaptive relearn guide explains why that step matters.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. AF40 is the name GM, Opel and Saab used for the Aisin TF-80SC six-speed transaxle. Volvo calls it the TF-80SC, and Ford, Mazda and Land Rover used it under their own names. The related TF-81SC is a different unit.
It is listed for 2007-2015 AF40 / TF-80SC transaxles, which includes Volvo S80, V70, XC70, XC60 and XC90 models and Saab models with this six-speed. Case shapes vary by engine, so match your old pump and the transmission plate code, or send us your year and VIN to confirm.
No. The pump is at the front of the case behind the torque converter, so the transaxle has to come out and the converter has to be removed first.
Use the Aisin type automatic transmission fluid Volvo specifies for your transmission generation and set the level hot, at 50 to 60 C, until fluid just drips from the level pipe plug.
Fit a new front seal, inspect the torque converter hub, and check the valve body for debris and a worn pressure regulator bore. On a high-mileage unit, a full rebuild kit is worth doing while the transaxle is out.
Yes. Reset the transmission adaptations with a scan tool that talks to the transmission module so it relearns clutch fill times with the new pump's pressure.
