It is probably dead, but for other reasons. The glycol in antifreeze decimates clutch packs, they have likely clogged the filter leading to low oil pressure and thus no moving car. In this case, a double whammy as you both had destroyed clutch packs and a clogged oil filter. I had the same happen to...

Absolutely not, you have a mechanical issue now. No way but a rebuild or used gearbox, of course used means you never know what condition it truly is in. If it is a clogged filter, after it sits for a few days , it *may* drive for just a bit before the pump sucks up the gunk and it clogs up the filt...

grab a used or rebuilt and swap it out.

this is a volvo deisel but its mostly the same.

Something tells me the V50 construction is different than the P2. No matter how or where I dont think you can simply drop the AW55 without dropping the subframe, and the engine and tranny are all held by mounts ON the subframe. Specifically for AW55, it has a aluminum frame which is bolted to the AW...

I do not see that anyone mentioned the likely cause of coolant in your transmission. Most likely the transmission oil cooler has a leak between trans fluid and coolant. This must be fixed before any other fix is attempted.

"it *may* drive for just a bit before the pump sucks up the gunk and it clogs up the filter. Actually you can also verify this if you pull out the return like of the oil and nothing comes out whilst the car is running" I haven't tried pulling the return yet, but last night after it sat fo...

It is, by disassembling half the internals of the AW55. The filter filters your oil, you cannot see the debris. The only way you can is by filling up the oil return line with diesel and using an air compressor to blow out the sludge/debris backwards. Of course you don't want that gunk backing up ins...
