02 V70 2.4T


About 75% of the time, when going from any gear, to drive, it lurches into gear very hard. You can feel a slight bump, and then a pause, then quite a hard hurch as it goes in. This isn't the neutral/stop shift, that has been programmed out as far as I can tell, its never done it since we had it. Dealer has done a reflash,flush, and readaption, its no better. Software update did make it shift through the gears nicer, but thats it. Now the response is, "its normal". There is no way its normal, hitting as hard as it does,esp when it doesn't do it all the time. From the searching I have done, this looks like a valve body issue? All other shifts are fine, up and down, just when changing from P,R,or N to drive it does this. Allthough sometimes if cold outside, it does hang in first a bit, gotta let off , then its fine. Any ideas??

 

Either they didn't adapt it correctly after the software install or the Valve body is going out.

 

Well it doesn't act any differnt after the software or adaption, so i'm guessing VB. This a common enough issue they should know about it?

 

Volvo Knows they have Transmission problems.
They will sell you a tranny instead of doing the Valve body.

 

They won't sell be anything, got lots of warr. left, just gotta get them to admit there is a problem. Guess I'm gonna have to get ugly! Thanks

 

BEAT IT TILL IT BREAKS!!!

 

Thats kind of what they said" you still have lots of warr. left....." Nice attitude. Just very anoying to drive it like this .............I'm gonna go have a chat with them. [sm=badbadbad.gif]

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Well FINALLY got it fixed. Selling dealer wouldn't do anything, said it was "normal"...........took it to a differnt dealer, took them a MONTH, yes they had the car a MONTH, but finally put a brand new trans in, replaced a door latch that was bad, and seatbelt that kept hanging up. Hope this ends the problems for awhile. Can't even feel it go into gear now, so much for smashing into gear being "normal"

 

Thank god you got it fixed.

Glad they also fixed the other things for you.
