Was the trans shop a Volvo Specialist??

I ask, because dumping the pan fluid and stomping on a gas pedal, really doesn't help when they're at this level.

A full fluid change, 13ish liters, and a Vida/Dice relearn is the best hope before diving into the guts. I did the 5L version and a relearn and ...

It really depends on the care/abuse given it before you.

Do a complete flush (search for it in here)... Then do a relearn. It made a massive difference for me. If that works better but you still have issues I'd suggest a valve body or at min the 3 solenoids, before diving in for a trans.

As long ...

Yes and No.

It did change it, but I think the trans was too far gone for this Hail Mary attempt. I resolved myself to replacing the valve body once I could find a nice "C" donor wiring harness!

Good luck with it!

Afternoon all!!!

OK, I finally have enough glitches in my cluster that I am going to send it in and have it properly fixed. I have reflowed it several times now and I can't rid myself of the errors so I think a component has finally died! I found a place that'll do lifetime warranty and not take ...

Hey guys.... before bringing the undead back to life, you might want to check the users Last Active time.

It appears JP has not been active since Nov 2015! You might not get an answer... or you might. If looking for info on long dead threads, I often PM the user to see if they are still around ...

Hey Pre..... Where are you buying your parts from when you can't find them on eBay and the like?

I have a National Transmission number that I can't locate anywhere. I tried their site and it refers me to their "distributors" of which none of them sell retail that I can determine.

Am I just going ...

Hey ya'all.... let's not forget the sub-frame bushings. These will allow the same thing to happen and are VERY overlooked in this type of issue. If the LCAs are important... so are the things that the LCAs mount to! Check your sub-frame bushings too!

I found my right side ones had been turned to ...

Sounds a lot like mine. I think I lucked out with it coming back to about 98% drivable with a full flush, 2X now. I'd need a Valve Body to get the last of the hiccups out. In hind sight, that would have been my first option, but live and learn.

If you have access to the flush unit, do it. Worst ...

So as the title states... What is the spec'd idle (AC Off) RPM for a 98 V70 GLT with a B5254T?

I read in the posts that folks have near 1000rpm (where mine is), then I read others saying that they have 700ish (where my friend says it should be.

I would think that the ECM should be in control of it ...
