For a typical front-wheel drive Volvo car with a standard automatic transmission, the cost to replace the transmission is estimated to range between $2,500 and $4,000, including parts and labor.
For a rear-wheel drive Volvo with a more complex transmission, such as an all-wheel drive system or an automatic transmission with more gears, the cost can be higher and range between $3,500 and $5,000.
These estimates exclude any potential diagnostics or additional repairs required if there is damage to other components related to the transmission. It's always best to consult with a reputable Volvo dealership or automotive transmission repair shop for an accurate quote based on your specific vehicle model and condition.
