Shakes when accelerating

Post by VolvoSFoorrrrttay »


I just change the transmission fluid in my 2010 Volvo S 40. It was very dark and nasty. I did this because the gears started slipping slightly. Everything was fine for a day. Yesterday it started shaking only when accelerating. Do you or anyone think that it’s cool in the transmission fluid or oil buy some sort of leak?

Or maybe His Tranny was filled with COOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtxlCsVKkvY

dark and nasty- is just old coolant. If there was coolant in there, it would emulsify it and it would be cloudy.

How are the CV axles? what about the tires- balanced all that?
