Transmission woes?

Post by AlanS »

2013 S60 58K miles- Over the past week, I have noticed something with the transmission. Lets say that you are at a light, on an uphill. If you let your foot off the brake, the car rolls downhill, with no resistance. There has always been a 'feeling' that it was in gear when in same situation, thus (in the past), it would stay stationary at the light. Next...At a light, flat...foot on brake...let foot off brake...no movement...then...a lunge forward, as if it just changed into gear.
What do I check? What are your thoughts?

Have you ever changed the transmission oil?
What was the color when you drained?
Example of Precision: Measure with a Micrometer, mark it with Chalk, and then cut it with an Axe.
