Hard shifts and shift flare

Post by Daltonjl »

Hey guys. Quick question. I bought my 2006 S60R five weeks ago and noticed hard shifting in and out of third the next day. No big deal, I was looking into it, but not extremely concerned then 5 weeks later it starts flaring and slamming into the next gear. Also it gave me a "Transmission performance low" warning Not sure what gear but on the lower end at low speeds. I've read that It could be a few things. Shift solenoids or software updates. Does anybody have any experience with this?

You know now why the po sold the car :( If the transmission fluid looks dark, there is still a chance fresh fluid and new solenoids can help somehow. But if the fluid is clear cherry, it might mean the po already tried it all
