Not sure if anyone else has run into this, especially when people immediately run to the glycol test. Transmissions shifting hard, slipping, shifting at the wrong time. My gf took her 01 v70 xc to an import shop, they charged her $75 for a glycol test and told her the transmission was shot. Reading ...

I ordered mine online from AutoZone with their 20% off promo. So it was the same price as other retailers but if I had trouble I could take it in to a local store to return.

I just bought a whole unit for $300. I noticed the compressor was starting to make an internal knocking noise as well.

Hello All, I've been looking for the troubleshooting steps to figure out what's happening here and I thought someone might know them to help guide me. I have a 2005 S80 with ~156k miles.
