Re: Transmission doesn't engage in any gear

Yes - car was idling normally at 750 RPM. While letting the car idle for 30 minutes to heat up the transmission fluid, I noticed the shifter did engage the transmission several times in drive and reverse. The car did drive forward and backward a foot or so. It did engage randomly throughout the 30 m...

Re: Transmission doesn't engage in any gear

I let the car sit idling for 30 minutes, as I can't drive it. After the 1/2 hour, when the car was hot, I checked the fluid level and it was high - 1/4" or more about the fill lines. During the 30 minute idle, I was able to engage the car a couple inches forward and backwards. When I did this, ...

Re: Transmission doesn't engage in any gear

Thank you so much for the advice. I will let the car warm up, and check the fluid.

Transmission doesn't engage in any gear

I'm in a bad spot. My 2001 Volvo S60 does not engage with the transmission when I move the gear shifter. The shifter moves from gear to gear just as it has in the past, but when I put it in gear (any - reverse, drive, 3rd or 4th), and I step on the gas, the car does not move - it does not engage. Th...

Re: When I clear S60 transmission codes, car drives perfectly

Thanks for the suggestion! I read that the TCM can be reset or updated by using the Vida software - I've got a lot to learn...

I will start down that road, and then look into replacing it if that doesn't work.

When I clear S60 transmission codes, car drives perfectly

I have been getting a variety of transmission error codes over the last month on my 2001 Volvo S60 with 115,000 miles on it. The strangest part is, when I clear the "urgent transmission service" codes that occur within the first 15 minutes of driving each and every morning, the car drives ...

2001 S60 Air Filter housing - hose missing from back (pic

Just changed out my air filter, and noticed an area behind (or aft of) the air filter housing where one tiny hose is connected and one tiny hose is missing. I saw the missing hose dangling behind the housing and it's missing it's connector / boot. It appears to be too short to reach the plug anyways...
