I guess it's now to the point where I need something like a "level10" transmission but more options cause I don't know how I'll afford them or if it's a risk that may not work when I put it in my xc70

It sounds very much like you replaced your bad transmission with a bad transmission.
'94 940 wagon, 220K miles- sold to a guy who then drove it to Oklahoma
'99 XC70 AWD, 210K miles- trans went
'04 XC70 AWD, 196K miles- still going strong
'06 S40 sedan, 150K miles- went with the ex

Agreed. Anyone know if the valve body is the most common issue?
