Thank you everyone. Other issues have been coming up and distracting me. I'm still mulling over how I want to approach this issue. I've made up my mind though that I'm keeping the car. With all the new parts, it just doesn't make sense to sell it the way it is. I'm not looking forward to dealing wit...

page 3 shows exactly where to drill the case. https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=98458&hilit=transmission+filter&start=20 Hey Thanks man. I think this is kind of awesome because if it's not working I have nothing to lose. I'm going to keep it one way or another so what...

I'm afraid that I'm in this for the long haul. I've been putting money and time into this thing for months. I've done a lot of work on it and there's no way to sell it and get that back, plus it would just completely bum me out. It's an 05 but it only has 100k miles on it. I guess I need to start ta...

theres also an older thread where someone drilled a hole in the trans case and poked holes in the fluid filter, then installed a plug in the hole in the case and used an external trans filter. Oh, thanks for this. I've already bought an external filter and extended the hose length for the low press...

Highly indicative of clogged oil filter inside the transmission. What clogged it? Bits and pieces of the clutch packs as well as potentially some kind of metallic sludge due to the water not lubricating important parts of the transmission which ground them up and released all this particular there....

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 A...

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. volvolugnut I replaced the radiator last night, and then flushed 24 quarts o...

"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...

I've been dreading the idea of swapping this automatic transmission outside with no lift. I had no idea that it could be done in such a short period of time. After it sits for a while, it will move. Last night, I let it sit for a couple of hours after I finished flushing it. It pulled forward to aro...

Man, what a bummer. So, you don't think resetting the TCM would make any difference?
