Default '03 xc70 tranny

Hello everyone!
When i was looking to buy used cross country I've been told to stay away from 2001 and 2002 because of the transmission problems. So i did, I purchased 2003 with 127k last April. Now, a year and 15k miles later, I am having transmission issues with this car. It slips in reverse and first gear. Rest of the gears are fine. No loud and rought shifts, its all smooth. No CEL on, no codes. Fluid was little darker so i flushed it properly by volvo technician. Nothing changed.
Any advices before i go back to his garage? Should i keep investing money or just draw the line and consider it parts car?
thanks!

Just to be clear. You had it flushed by a Volvo Technician or at a Volvo dealer? The dealer uses a machine. Did they do a scan? Did they update the software? Is the fluid color changing again?
