Where to start... This is my baby that I'm afraid might be better off as a parts car. I realize this is a high price for a "parts car", but here's the skinny:

The transmission is going out on me. I have been driving it cautiously around town to try to diagnose, but I believe it is a shift solenoid ...

Ok, so here are the codes (arranged numerically)

P0410 - Secondary Air Injection System Malfunction

P0456 - Evaporative Emissions System - Small leak detected

P0705 - Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL input)


P0733 - Gear 3 Incorrect Ratio

P0734 - Gear 4 Incorrect Ratio ...

Haven't been on here in a while, too busy driving. But as it happens a bit too much for the tranny.. :*(

Here's a glory pic from weekend before last. 4 people, 3 boats, 2 dogs, 1 (soon to be dead-transmission) volvo driving in some steep a$$ hills in arkansas

Quick update, been busy driving to bother getting on here...

@obayha: nice! I have regretfully not been on the water as much as I should this year. And still haven't bought a kayak like I had planned to. Been sinking money straight into the kayak hauler (my car) for the past 6 months haha. I've hauled three kayaks on the current yakima cross bars a few times ...

@obayha: not sure when I'll put the rails on, but within the next month or so. I have to source some yakima rail grabber things before I go for it.
