Howdy guys Getting the old volvo ready for my youngest boy to start driving. My oldest started with this car and drove it for several years. When parked the car would creep in park on a grade and also the tranny would sort of shudder/slip under acceleration. The fluid smells fine not burnt and he pu...

THANK YOU returned from picking up the wife, removed the tarp replaced the plugs, plugged back in the fuel injectors unplugged the MAS and she fired up.

The yard down the road wants 75 a piece for the 5 spoke wheels. Just saying.
