Transmission hesitation in shifting - 2001 S80

Post by Jrepps »

I have a 2001 S80 Non-Turbo. It has 90K miles on it and it is hesitating when it is shifting between 3rd and 4th gear. I took it into a repair shop to get the transmission flushed (first time flushed), but the problem still remains. How long would it take to clear up the problem if all it needed was a flush?

Welcome to MVS. How many miles on your S80?
Common issue for your model year car is the ETM (electronic throttle module). There is a whole section about this at the top of the forum so do so reading to see if this might not be it.
