Default 1989 Volvo 740 Turbo Shifting Struggles

Hello, everyone!!

I'm having a problem with my 89' 740 Turbo when it's having a hard time shifting gears. Automatic transmission... Any idea why it would be doing that?


Thanks,
Noah!

You should provide more info! What is it doing exactly, hot or cold, which gears, miles, fluid changes, condition, etc.

You're right lol. Super vague of myself...

The car has about 300,000 miles, and seems to be 2-3 gear. As to hot or cold, I'm not sure what you mean... Could you please explain?

Some trannies cold shift OK, when hot, not.
Is it a delayed shift, or not at all? You can adjust the kick down cable, it may help 2-3 gear shifts. https://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-9...ble_Adjustment
Also, change the fluid, when was it done last? It's often neglected.

this is still lacking a lot of information.

whats specifically wrong with 2-3 ? does it just stay in 2nd, and never shift into 3rd? does it slip when its in 3rd? or what?
