hi guys can any one help,had my C70 about three years the car is approx 9 years old but has only done 60,000 miles i only do about 2000 a year.when i first had the car the gears just suddenly would not select, so got towed to the the dealer where a new gearbox was fitted.the car is a lovely drive but it just seems to that the gear change is a little bit slow at time, could be between 2nd and 3rd but not all the time, can this be auto gearbox fault or a etm fault the car is only used for small journeys and probably only used for a good run about twice a year, but a part from that the car is a dream (IMG:style_emoticons/default/liebe011.gif)

I would change the transmission fluid with a Volvo recommended fluid once or twice first.

the point is moot on the difference between manual and auto when it is a used vehicle and you have never done it before. get a tranny flush done. at least you will have a fresh batch of oil and that will be one less thing that you have to worry about.
