This reconditioned gearbox for the Volvo V50 1.6 Petrol, with an engine capacity of 1596 cm³ and compatible with the B4164S3 engine, corresponds to reference 1283179. Reconditioning involves a complete strip-down of the gearbox, thorough cleaning and inspection of every internal component, followed by replacement of all wear parts including gears, synchros, bearings and seals. The gearbox is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested before dispatch to ensure performance in line with the original specification.

Signs that your V50 6-speed manual gearbox needs replacing

On a V50 fitted with this 6-speed manual gearbox, several signs point to advanced wear: increasingly stiff gear changes, crunching on downshifts, vibration through the gear lever, hesitation when engaging 3rd or 5th gear, or a persistent low hum even in neutral. These symptoms typically indicate worn synchros or internal bearings and warrant a gearbox replacement.
