Thinking about dumping the Volvo

I think I have a lot to do.
I have a few threads posted under the S80 section from the past couple of months. My biggest issue now is , I just changed the transmission fluid and filter. Fluid wasn't burned and just had some fine material on the magnet (no chunks) now it is slipping when starting from a stop. Is it possible that I don't have the filter in all the way. Or should I start looking for another transmission. I own a 2000 S80 T6 ( with the GM transmission)

Gave my humble opinon in one of your other threads. $750 for an S80 with 125k miles with tranny problems (and other issue's) is a "money-pit" waiting to happen. Which is why I said in the other thread...Volvo parts are expensive. Part it out (sell popular easy to ship parts on eBay or Craig's List)...then sell the vehicle to a scrap yard. Should not have too much trouble getting your $750 back...and maybe make some profit.

I think I was just a bit frustrated when I started this thread. It's been driving pretty good most of the time. I think I'll be able to order rebuilt abs module and a new TPS sensor in December ( from eBay) It should cost me around $200 . I think the car just needs some TLC. I'm going to keep it. Thank you again.
