AF40 Valve Body 2006-08, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the AF40. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2006-2008 Volvo or platform-mate with a harsh 2-3 shift, a torque-converter shudder that shows up around town, or a stored solenoid or pressure code is pointing at the valve body more often than the clutch packs behind it. AF40 is Volvo's own name for the Aisin TF-80SC - a 6-speed, front-wheel-drive electronic automatic transaxle shared with Ford, Mazda, Land Rover, Mini, Peugeot/Citroen and Saab platforms - and this is a remanufactured, bench-ready valve body built for the 2006-2008 production span of that unit, so you install a known-good part instead of chasing bore wear and solenoid drift piece by piece.
The AF40/TF-80SC is a clutch-and-band automatic, and the valve body is its hydraulic brain: it routes line pressure through precision bores and spool valves to apply each clutch and band, and it carries the shift and pressure-control solenoids the TCM uses to time every gear change. Worn solenoid bores and sticking regulator valves inside the body - not the clutch packs themselves - are the common cause of the harsh and slipping shifts reported on this transmission.
Pull the stored codes before ordering - solenoid or pressure-control faults that line up with harsh 2-3 shifts and converter shudder are the pattern this valve body addresses, while a generic P0700 alone just tells you the TCM has a request pending and needs a transmission-capable scan tool to isolate further. If your symptoms match, replacing the valve body is usually the lower-cost fix before assuming the clutch packs or converter are worn.
This listing is built for the AF40/TF-80SC as produced for the 2006-2008 model years. Volvo, Ford, Mazda, Land Rover, Mini, Peugeot/Citroen and Saab all used this Aisin transaxle across 2003-2017, but the casting, solenoid pack and connector count changed between revisions, so match the part number and connector on your original unit against the photos here, or send us your year, model and VIN before ordering. Our Aisin transmission parts collection covers the broader TF-80SC/TF-81SC family if your revision doesn't match this listing, including the TF-80SC/AF40 valve body assembly we stock for other production years.
Drop the pan and filter at the same time as the valve body swap so debris already circulating in the old fluid doesn't contaminate the new unit, and torque the valve body bolts in sequence to spec rather than corner to corner. Refill with JWS 3309-spec ATF, clear the stored codes, and run the TCM's adaptive relearn after the swap so the computer re-times clutch and band apply against the new valve body instead of the worn one. If the fluid that came out was dark or smelled burnt, pair this with our AF40 overhaul kit or a fresh AF40 pump rather than putting a new valve body behind worn clutch packs.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes - AF40 is Volvo's internal designation for the Aisin TF-80SC, the same 6-speed front-wheel-drive electronic automatic shared across several European and Asian platforms.
A harsh or delayed 2-3 upshift, torque-converter shudder at steady speed, slipping or flare between gears, and a stored pressure-control or shift-solenoid code.
It's built for the AF40/TF-80SC as produced for 2006-2008. The casting, solenoid pack and connector count changed across the transmission's 2003-2017 production run, so match your part number and connector against the photos or send your year, model and VIN to confirm.
It's a remanufactured unit, and the AF40/TF-80SC runs JWS 3309-spec ATF - refill with that specification after installing.
Yes - clear the stored codes and run the TCM's adaptive relearn so the computer re-times clutch and band engagement against the new valve body.
Dark or burnt-smelling fluid usually means the clutch packs have been running contaminated for a while. Pair the valve body with an overhaul kit or fresh pump rather than installing a good valve body behind worn clutch material.
