I have a 4 year old S80. Rescently I've had a delay in the gears engaging and then suddenly it slaps into gear with great force. This has been followed by the Transmission Service Urgentlu Required light coming on and now it's like the clutch is slipping (its an auto by the way)

I took it to an independant garage who tell me it needs a new transmission, and its a specialist unit which will cost at least $2,000 + labor. I don't think it is this a) I don't think it is the transmission, its supposedly a GM box and one of volvos most reliable units. and b. the problem is substantially worse when its cold.

I'm wondering if its incorrect transmission fluid at the last service??? I did read on another posting that the S80 can be very tempremental to this. It seems coincidental that it started to happen shortly after the transmission fluid was topped up. I'm also wondering if I need a new clutch.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Ian
