Transmission....PNP switch

Post by bolubo »

Just a thank you to everyone who over the years has contributed some information regarding the PNP switch on the 850 tranny. I read up on all the most common volvo related faults when I picked up my 850 a few months ago. I therefore knew exactly what to do when my car decided to go into 'limp' mode last night in -25 degree celcius weather on a major road. I pulled over and ran the gear selector from P-L a few times and presto!! Magic temporary cure !!. I'll be changing the switch on Tuesday.

Still love this car even with all the preventative maintenance...... :lol: Beats driving my old leaky GM anyday !
