V70r disengage of driveline after hard stop

Post by peacock »

Having a 9-5 job I sometimes find myself needing to stop a little faster in traffic than I would like.
On occasion when stopping hard the drive line gets put into neutral and then takes 2-3 seconds to come back in once the brake is off. All I've been doing is lightly touching the gas when I'm ready to go waiting for it to come back on. Is there a procedure I'm missing? I ask because the re-engage is always a bit harsh.
thank you

It sounds like it is low on fluid. Check the level with the engine running in neutral and check both sides of the dipstick to make sure the reading is accurate.

Reading full right now. Maybe too full? did a flush and ended with two gallon jugs filled with old stuff. Im guessing that behavior is not normal?
