Volvo C70 Auto gearbox fault
Hi can anyone help. I have just bought a C70 coupe 2.3 turbo.When I drove it gently it was fine, whenI accelerated harder I lostdrive & reverse.I would have to stop turn off engineleave the car for 10 minutes start up drive again. I had it scanned for faults and nothing was recorded in the ecu. I changed the gearbox and still the same happens only it is worse now. Any suggestions would be great. Regards Matthew

Hi Matthew,
I'm sorry about the problem, it must be annoying & unsafe to drivethe caras it is.
If swapping the gearbox didn't solve the problem and no fault was recorded in the ECU, all I can think of at the moment is that someone may have introduced the wrong type of transmission fluid. Older Volvos use Dexron-III/Mercon, but newer Volvos seem to use completely different types of fluids. Or, there may have been manufacturing defects, did you check for recalls? It could also be mis-adjusted shifter linkage, low fluids, etc...
Post this question in the C70 forum; I believe people there can help you better than I could, as I'm an 850 driver.
I wish you the best of luck resolving the problem.
