Help! I need advice on transmission issues
My 2002 xc70 has 130K on it. It had the transmission replaced around 90k. Now, sadly, it seems as though its transmission is on its last legs again. There's a pronounced hard shift frequently in the lower gears. At one point it rolled backwards on on a hill when in gear. Now today, I heard a terrible grinding noise traveling on a slight incline. So far though, there has been nothing indicating any transmission trouble on the computer. Even when I brought it to the mechanic to check the codes.
So my transmission is obviously on its last legs right?
I just replaced the timing belt and front axle to the tune of $1500.00. I also got into a small accident which will require about $1500.00 to repair. So do I fix the damage, then trade it in to a dealer? Or is it worth it to replace the tranny again on an 02 with 130K on it? It'll cost me 4K easy. I do love the car but it feels like a money pit.
