RE: someone please tell me
Holy crap, that is expensive.
Edit: I would do it yourself. I believe you can use the 850 technique, but I want to confirm somehow...

Hope this helps to some extent...

You don't really flush a manual, you more or less change it out like a standard engine oil change. The "fluid" a manual uses is a heavy duty oil, like a 75w90 gear lube; though some use a lighter weight "syncromesh"
On an auto, you actually have a tranny fluid, and yes, it is pink (actually more red than pink). Certain manufacturers require certain spec tranny fluid; some of these specs include:
GM DEXRON® II, III & VI
Ford MERCON®, MERCON® V & SP
Chrysler ATF+ through ATF+4®
Honda Z-1
Toyota Type T and T-IV
Mitsubishi/Hyundai Diamond SP II & III
Allison C-3, C-4
Caterpillar TO-2
Voith G607, G1363
ZF TE-ML 14A, 14B, 14C
Mercedes Benz 236.1, 236.2, 236.6, 236.7, 236.9
BMW 7045E
NAG 1 & 2
JWS 3309
LT 71141 (ESSO)
Nissan Matic D, J & K
Vickers I-286S & M-2950S
At that point, you need a fluid that meets the requirements of your manufacturer. With the auto, a full flush is best. you can change out the fluid like you can on a manual tranny or standard engine oil change, but this won't remove all of the fluid. A full flush is needed to get all the fluid removed. The torque converter in an auto will hold fluid that cannot be removed on a standard drain of the system

RE: someone please tell me
yeah, ive researched it all over the place. I forget which site, but they posted a link to Castrol and they are the supplier to Volvo and Jag..... So instead of putting some other thats not it calls for, Im just having it done at the dealer. Some here have posted prices of 300 to 400 bucks. Im under warranty and rather not mess that up. My thinking is, Volvo claims the stuff they use is Synth, and since theres no mention to a regular milage for a flush cept for towing. I have to think its synth for lifetime and only change when needed. The Mobil 3309 I read is conventional and requires regular changing. So its the dealer for me, playing it safe

Conventional Dexron-III/Mercon/ATF Type-F should be clear red. If it's pink, something's going wrong inside the gearbox (unless I have not seen pink version of Dexron-III/Mercon/Type-F).
850 requires either ATF Type-F or Volvo syntheticoil (according to factory manual), or could be Dexron-III/Mercon, check with the owner's manual.
Even though manual gearbox oil does not need frequent change, I still would change it at every 30,000 miles or so if it were my car. The oil eventually degrades with temp extremes (hot & cold), oxidisation & moisture.
Yes if your Volvo is under warranty have it serviced at the dealer to be safe.
