Thanks all for the help so far. The fluid seems to look, smell and taste ok LOL!
The smell is a bit of a strong oil smell. Attached are a couple photos as me being an Artist a picture is worth a 1000 words!
Is doing a Transmission flush something I could do and if so any links/video on this procedure would be great!
I searched our forum for similar issues, but there are so many transmission issues to sort through!
Just enjoying a stay home Blizzard day here in PEi!

hi joepataydis. I live in Stratford next to Charlottetown! Another storm on Wed!!
I have just finished my drain and fill for the 3rd time and the car has no more pause when shifting into drive and the overall shifting is much better. In a few weeks I will be doing a full Transmission flush with the Valvoline Synthetic oil and will post my results!
No go tune up the snow blower!!

Stephen,
Great to know you've seen positive results. I too should do drain and fill a few times. Keep me posted!

Hello joepataydis and all. I am very pleased to say my XC70 has never shifted so smooth! I started by doing a drain and fill 3 times with 300-400kms between each drain and fill. Last week I did the full Gibbons / transmission flush with Valvoline Max Life Synthetic Trans oil purchased at the local Walmart. I did contact Valvoline and they confirmed the oil is for the Volvo XC70's.
I also installed the Magfine inline filter as attached here to give me the extra protection :-)
I will post later on to keep you all informed!

oragex, I recently did this trans fluid flush using 13 quarts of Mobile 3309 ATF and 8 oz of SeaFoam trans tune. The trans shifting seems to have improved significantly. Still not as good as it should be. I plan on flushing it again after 2k miles to see if there is any more improvement.
I did not know about the software reset. Is this a dealer only job?
