Can you post the link on how to adjust it?

So through all this crap I ended up putting a used transmission from a roll over into the car. After a few weekends of fun I get it back together and now it has no reverse. Other than that its fine. I'm trying to sell the car for $1500 on craigslist. This sucks. After all this I've come to the concl...

Good to know, I'll see what else I can find out about the GLT

Would a manual conversion be ridiculous or cure my problems for life? It might. Is your car a turbo or an N/A? The turbo ECU is programmed for an automatic transmission and you will have a perpetual CEL with a stick. If you have an N/A you can get the ECU for a stick and not have that problem. ...L...

My neighbor took the car to his shop and said that the filter in the transmission is full of crap and that the transmission fluid looks like mud. He flushed the transmission and said that its working better now but still not right. He said he could see bits of silicone floating in the transmission f...

Ok so my neighbor who owns a garage brought home his Launch code reader and checked the PNP switch. He said that the switch is reading fine but that it only stays in the correct gear for a few seconds. He cleared the code and could shift into the right gear just fine but only for a minute or so afte...

Stage Zero was my first priority but I was wondering if down the line gutting the turbo, ecu, ect out of a GLT would be feasible or just more trouble than its worth.

On a side note: I've found that this forum is the mecca for Volvo owners. My local Volvo dealership even suggested that I check it out.

So this car was a hand me down, its in great condition 80k miles on it.

Is there anything worth doing performance wise or should I save my money and look into a turbo model?
