2004 Volvo Transmission

Post by wongdonald »

I am experiencing transmission problem. Took it into Volvo Service Shop. Hook transmission to computer; no code indicating any problem with transmission. Transmission fluid is sufficient and the color of the fluid looks fine, per Volvo service person.

Symtoms: from a stop position, upon stepping on the gas pedal, the cars rolls forward slightly with the engine racing but the transmission is not engaged. It is as if the transmission is in neutral gear. A few seconds later, the car lerches forward and the transmission gear is in drive. It is as if there is a delay before the gear slips into drive. Note: This problem appears intermittently; twice yesterday and once two weeks ago.

Volvo service person indicated there is nothing that they can do at this time since they were not able to duplicate the problem at the shop. It is unsafe to drive with this problem; nearly got rear-ended on the freeway on-ramp the first time the problem occurred. Anyone who may have an idea as to what may be the source of the problem, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
