Volvo i-shift transmission failed. Good to know when if you own one!

With my dads Ishift it struggled to leave gear at times. When you press on the brake pedal it’s suppose to disengage and go into neutral it failed to do it the one time and broke the output shaft. And almost caused a wreck truck was surging forward into stopped traffic and my dad had the brakes to the floor.

Yikes! Scary situation never heard or seen that happen. That bill escalated quickly! Hope all is well thanks for watching & keep on truckin 🤘🏽🤘🏽

@@thatdieseltech4666 this happens back in 2014, what Volvo did was Reprogrammed the transmission, and the truck sat outside at volvo for 5 months. The truck never ran right again. I hope it got scrapped lol

Please if you get a chance can you do a video on no response to throttle, totally random, lose engine brake at same time, this happens for a few seconds then truck goes back to normal Long time subscriber

[@MisterJonesification]

I randomly read a job ad where it mentioned that their trucks had this exact transmission, and that they were the "safest" on the road. I guess that was to lure job applicants in.

[@precisiondiesel225]

They are when you have knowledgeable and experienced mechanics servicing the trucks. Volvos are the safest and most advanced trucks on the road, period. Volvo has led the industry in safety and technology, since the invention of the seatbelt. Which was invented by Volvo.

2 guys! I love what you guys do on this channel! Helpful is an understatement. I have a question, i am in California and i am looking at a truck in Washington and Texas. Is it possible for me to get in touch with a mechanic to perform a pre-purchase inspection and oil analysis in my place? Is it a good idea? Trying to avoid air fare for 2 different cities 2 different times. Thank you guys!

Sachs aftermarket clutch is the same as OEM but without volvo signs on them. But it isn’t supplied to US officially

[@brandonbiszantz7955]

Why haven’t you talked about the brake pedal switch? That will trash a clutch by giving bad signals to the actuator

[@bradwilliams-c7m]

good video. but it is not a failed transmission. it is failing clutch cylinder, clutch, and flywheel

[@fernandorios8224]

My exact symptoms on my Mack mdrive, thanks for this. So the clutch and clutch actuator would be replaced?

Clutch, clutch actuator, & clutch control valve along with the steel braided line suppling air from valve to actuator 💪🏽.

How much it cost to replaced?

[@guillenlasvegas]

Great job guy! Loving the information Any chance you guys have a referral for Volvo certified mechanic in Las Vegas? Keep up guys!

[@billhough6309]

The driver caused this issue. He held the truck using the throttle instead of the brake. Heating the flywheel tells you that.

[@mechmobile2019]

That's why hill start assist is important if you put drivers in trucks, especially if driver is a noob that's not paying attention to what he is doing

[@precisiondiesel225]

The Ishift Transmission monitors clutch temps and will disable the throttle pedal and shift into neutral when steering wheel holders overheat the clutch. Hill Assist prevents this issue.

i have a 2003 Freightliner 3 peddle auto shift. the driver said it started sounding like the pto was engaging, 20 minutes later the clutch appears to have went out. the thing is the truck is not equipped with a pto. should i pull the tranny & put a new clutch in? is there an Y,X shift issue? thank you for any info you can provide

I would drain the oil in the transmission & inspect for shavings.

I have same exact issue jerking in reverse R1 and fine in R2 and forward gears… Did you fix it? I was told that I need a short transmission as this is from input shaft inside the transmission. Please let me know

[@precisiondiesel225]

If it’s a Volvo with a Ishift, likely it’s a Spigot bearing failure. Has to be repaired by a Volvo dealer.

[@precisiondiesel225]

@@saeedalrashedi7781 you have a spigot bearing failure, which causes excessive radial movement of the input shaft. Depending on mileage the transmission can be repaired, by a Volvo dealer only. If high mileage 800,000 +miles, then it would benefit you to replace with a reman short. Do yourself a favor and get the transmission from a dealer and not aftermarket.

Hello. Nice covering of issues. I have a error “neutral position not secured” truck wont physically engage in D or R. Truck won’t move at all, and when in D won’t accelerate. Any help I appreciate. Thank you

[@bandolerotruckn6784]

@truckyoo So the ishift operates on air . When you turn your key to start truck you are not starting the engine . Basically your starting the ishift . The computer won’t let you start truck if the neutral switch isn’t detected. You can figure it out like I did. I had to learn everything myself and I suck at trouble shooting but I was due to being broke If you have low air it won’t start. If it’s under 20 psi your fucked . Buy a small 12v air compressor car tire emergency. There’s a tire valve on the fire wall of truck near bypass (air lines) fill that up and it’ll start. There’s also one on the tank underneath the truck on passenger side in rear . #1Check your wire cable from shift through seat to floor. It can break inside from your fatass because it’s between frame and your seat. #2 check for leaks , top of tranny leaks at fittings, check front air bags for leaks , usually the leveling valve leaks because old o rings. #check for all air leaks basically #truckyoo

[@precisiondiesel225]

Just by listening to your guy push down on the clutch cylinder, there’s nothing wrong with it and I bet that clutch cylinder will pass a vacuum test. I know when you removed the original clutch and clutch cylinder, that position sensor was covered in clutch material and shavings. You likely even had a fault code for the clutch needing replacement. The TECU using a X1-X2 value for the clutch engagement point and as a new position and service/replace position. The difference between the two values represents clutch life. I guarantee you the clutch engagement point was never recalibrated after installing the new flywheel, clutch disc, clutch diaphragm and clutch cylinder. Bet? The clutch engagement point HAS TO BE RECALIBRATED, using either TechTool or Service Ranger 4 Pro, or the clutch will destroy itself in a couple thousand miles. This has to be done for all Automated Transmissions, commonly wrongly identified as an Automatic Transmission.

[@bryanbivens8624]

Hi guys, I'm having error codeP10AE, which seems very similar to this one. I thought I may have parked my truck on a slight incline in gear. The air leaked out and truck did not want to start. Aired truck up with air compressor and it will start but it still seems like it is stuck in gear. Gear selector seems to work but I can't feel the shifts between R N D M. Also, the truck will not rev in neutral. I found TSB K64554358 but not a solution as I can't drive truck to service center. Also, I did jack up the drive wheels and they seem to spin freely, so I think the trans is in neutral but won't rev due to error code. Code persists after disconnecting batteries. I don't have PTT.

@@bryanbivens8624the newer Volvo’s, that have the push button gear selector and not the gear shifter, will automatically shift into neutral when the ignition is turned off.
