Before I let a dealer replace my transmission, I'd like to see if anyone has any other ideas. My yellow arrow came on this morning in my '93 850 and has stayed on, flashing, even while in the "Drive" mode. It was about 25F. After arriving at work I checked transmission fluid and oil as engine was "sluggish". All fluids A-OK. Is there any history on this problem? Appreciate any and all replies.

To know what it is you must have the car's codes read: Volvo Dealer (call first, reading should be free), independent mechanic (call first, reading should be free), or check them yourself... instructions are here:
