Need a different shifter knob for '99 v70 automatic due to disability

Nov 29, 2004 1 Replies

I just bought a 99 v70 automatic. I have limited dexterity due to a disability. I have great difficulty squeezing the button to release the lock to shift between gears. Can someone help determine a volvo part number from a prior year where the release button was on the side of the soft knob rather than the front? Either that or help identify an aftermarket part that is compatible?


I don't think I've ever seen a Volvo with the release button on the side, usually it's on the top. Perhaps you could have a weaker spring fitted or an oversize button that would be easier to press.
