Heh, that part's easy - you've just got to get all the junk out of the way to get down to the top of the transmission. At least you don't have to replace the solenoids :mrgreen:

If you're just getting funky shifting or no reverse lights or something of the sort, just clean the switch up real well and re-align it. That usually works.

Yeah, I posted awhile ago about how the tranny seems to go into neutral at stops so at your suggestion I had the fluid changed and I tried driving in sport mode. For two weeks not a problem. Then today it acted up again, only this time when I came home I went to put it in park and it didn't want to go into park. Your other suggestion was the PNP switch. I need to do a belt change, but I am not going to bother if the tranny is on it's way out.

Would these steps be the same or similar in a 2001 Volvo C70? Thanks
