TF-80SC Overhaul Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the TF-80SC. Ships fast from the USA.
Volvo owners usually find this part after a long run of trouble: an XC90, S80, XC60, V70 or XC70 that thumps into gear, slips between shifts, and has already had a fluid change that made no difference. Saab 9-3 and Opel owners with the AF40 hit the same wall. Although this listing is called an overhaul kit, what ships is a complete TF-80SC rebuild package carried under kit number T19700A: the T19702A gasket and seal set plus a friction plate set and a steel plate set. That means one box covers both halves of a rebuild, the sealing and the clutch packs, instead of ordering three kits separately.
The TF-80SC is a transverse six-speed built by Aisin and used under several names: Volvo labels it AM6, GM and Saab call it AF40 or AF40-6. Inside are three planetary gearsets, three clutches and two brakes. There is no shift band to adjust and no mechanical governor; the TCM times every shift by bleeding one clutch off while it fills the next one through linear solenoids. That only works when two things are right. The piston seals and sealing rings have to hold the exact pressure the solenoid asks for, and the friction surfaces have to grab at a predictable rate. This kit renews both. The overhaul portion supplies the pan and valve body gaskets, lip seals, metal-clad seals, O-rings and sealing rings, and the friction and steel sets replace the plates that glaze and wear in every clutch and brake pack.
Start with the fluid. On Volvo models the level has to be checked at operating temperature, 50 to 60 degrees C read on the TCM through a scan tool, with fluid just dripping from the level plug. A low level alone can cause flares and harsh engagement. If the level is right, pull the TCM codes and record which shift misbehaves. A valve body fault on this family often mimics worn clutches, so walk through our Aisin harsh or delayed shift diagnosis before you commit to a teardown. Clutch material in the pan and slip that follows load rather than one specific shift point to the packs. If you are still deciding between doing it yourself and buying a finished unit, read rebuild vs. replace vs. reman first.
This kit is built for the TF-80SC, model years 2005 and on. Applications include Volvo XC90 (2005 on), S80, V70 and XC70 (2008 on), XC60 and the 2006-2007 S60R and V70R, Saab 9-3, Cadillac BLS, Opel and Vauxhall models and many Peugeot and Citroen cars. The Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln MKZ and Mazda versions use the TF-81SC, which takes a different kit. Parts for the two look nearly identical but are not interchangeable, so read the plate on top of the transmission before ordering. If the tag reads TF-81SC, use the TF-81SC master rebuild kit instead. Not sure? Send us your year and VIN and we will check it. You can see every part we carry for this family in the Aisin transmission collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It includes both. The package is kit T19700A, made up of the T19702A overhaul (gasket and seal) set, a friction plate set and a steel plate set. Pistons are not listed as part of the kit.
Probably not. Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda used the TF-81SC version, which takes its own kit. Check the plate on top of the transmission; if it says TF-81SC, order the TF-81SC master rebuild kit.
The XC90 from 2005, the S80, V70 and XC70 from 2008, the XC60, and the 2006-2007 S60R and V70R, among others. Confirm by the transmission tag or send us your VIN.
A JWS 3309 type ATF. Volvo specified part numbers 1161540 or 1161640 on early units and 31256774 or 31256775 on later ones. Check the level hot, at 50 to 60 degrees C on the TCM, at the level plug.
Yes. The TCM adaptations should be reset after a rebuild or valve body work, then the car needs a drive through all six gears so the control unit can relearn clutch fill times.
