hey guy l dont understand something and need ur help.when my tranny is cold and is shifted to reverse it reverses smoothly but when l drive the car fully warmed up and put it to reverse it kicks in hard like its about to break into pieces.l had the same thing happen to me with my 1994 volvo 850 and same with the 1997 volvo 850 R.is that normal.thanks

 

Tranny going or contaminate. Only thing you can do is flush it and cross your fingers.

 

l changed the fluid to mobil 1 weeks ago.it shifts perfectly and kicks in as soon as u put it to drive.l sometimes dont even feel it shift cuz its very smooth.but when its warm it kicks harshly when l put it into reverse.

 

Have you replaced the transmission torque mount lately? I think the tranny shifts slower when it's cold. My 850 T-5R was doing that UNTIL I replaced the fluid. Also, I started making sure the motor RPM's were stable before shifting.

 

no l havent replaces the transmission torque yet.l will though.do u think its the cause of the harsh reverse when warm?

 

Usually you can feel it when it shifts to 2nd and 3rd. I had success when I changed the fluid and made sure the rpm's were stable. I already had a new tranny mount so I knew that wasn't the problem.

I might have one that you can try if you'd like. On 2nd thought, I don't. Installed them in the sedan I had and the S70 GLT. I only have the hard poly bushings that go in the iPd mount.

 

no this happens only in reverse.l will change the torgue thing and see what happens
