Hi,
I have a V70 AWD from 2000, with automatic transmission. When the car is running uphill on high gear,low RPM, and shifts to a lower gear, a quite hard gear-shift takes place. I can hear a "dunk" sound in the car.
This also happends sometimes when it shift from a lower gear to a higher gear, like after i have performed a "kickdown", and let go of the accelerator.
Is it something wrong with my transmission, is this normal in a V70 AWD?

Any comments on this?

You should check with the dealer and see if there are any software upgrades avalible for your car.sometimes that will help.Or possibly a valve body on its way out.

Hi Tech,
Thank you for good advise!! I will take a trip to my Volvo-dealer and ask for a "firmware upgrade".

Let me know how you make out.

Hi,

I am having similar problems with my 2000 V70 XC AWD - 55000 miles. At higher speeds (60 mph) I hear a similar hard sound (lockup?) when I accelerate. It also feels as if something is slipping especially when I accelerate at low speeds.

Anyone has similar experiences? Comments?

Regards, Jan

Hi Tech,
I changed the Oil/filter on transmission, and upgraded software. It has now stopped with the hard gear-shift, and seems to work fine. Thank you for good advise!

Regards

Hi Jan,
I took a trip to my Volvo dealer to look at the Gear-shift problem. They changed Oil/Filter on the transmission, and upgraded software. The problem disappeared, and everything seems to work fine.

Hope this works fine on your transmission too.

Regards
Karl

Exactly the symptoms we have on our 2000 V70XC. We'll be visiting the dealer next week!
