1995 T-5r solenoid s2

Post by chrillew »

Hey, have a problem that has become more intermittend than before, last year this code came up a2-2-2. Once month or 2 months between. This summer i comes up pretty much all the time. Is there anyway to get a new solenoid from volvo dealer?

Should i replace solenoid or gearbox aswell?

To mention, if i clear the code i can drive it normally. or turn key on off 5 times.

You can get the solenoid through a dealer or through FCP. FCP has them a fuzz cheaper. If the only problem is the shift solenoid then just change that. Although getting the pan off is a bear it is MUCH, MUCH, less of a bear than changing the transmission. Once the pan is off the solenoids are right there.

Thanks, well i think the gearbox is allright since the oil is still "redish" , not black or something like that.
I would gladely purchase from fcp but way to expensive incl shipping. live in sweden.
I found theese on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/TRANSMISSION-SO ... d5&vxp=mtr
And i get all of them, seems fair? or is this some crap?
