For anyone who has been following this. I checked with the local volvo mechanic,(not dealer) and it turns out the main pump was failing when hot. I am back to pulling it and replacing it with yet another one.
Hopefully this time it will work as expected. I learned a great deal about auto trans that ...

I just tried to flush it per the instructions here. It looked pretty nasty. The thing is though, after the the second round of flushing, It just stopped pumping out the fluid. I need to know what to tell the salvage yard, is that the main pump, or could it be a valve body clogged. Thanks again. also ...

Yep, same trans. everything works great when cold, that is what trips me out on this. why would it work when cold then not when hot. Could it be the valve body and solenoid picking up old trans fluid goop? (read that on another forum). I know i'm reaching here, but i just don't want to have to swap ...

Hello again, I contacted the JY and they drove the car with the donor trans in. So they verified it does work. I replaced the ABS module with one from matty moo and drove down the road. made it 1/2 mile and, no more trans at all.. It through codes P1618 and P0705. is there any chance its the ...

Thanks for the response, yes i checked the fluid... wouldn't that be nice, if that was it. Additive may help, however for $650.00 i want the trans to function properly. I think i am just going to have to pull it and hope the next one works. It comes with a 90 day waranty. I can't seem to come up ...

Hello all,
I recently replaced my transmission in my 99 V70-XC, it was so much more work than on my 850. Job went smoothly, and everything checked out well. I lowered the car, backed it out of the bay, let it idle to check leaks and such, and then nothing. There gear selector would move, but the ...

I have a 99 V70-XC, I just finished replacing the transmission. It wouldn't reverse. Last night after putting it all back together, I backed it right out of the garage. I let it idle to check fluids, the abs and brake light, and the light for the STC or TRACS is on. I knew my ABS module was going ...

Lee,

Otherwise, what should i use. I ...

Punctuated better. Sorry for the inconvenience. And thank you for you help, I figured it was a lost cause, i was hoping not to spend a great deal of money at the dealer.
