With the recent new Volvo service schedules of the last 4 years or so you can tailor your service to suit your needs , You and the service advisor need to be on the ball though. What is equally important is having the latest software , it is always being tweaked .
Thumping into D or 5th to 4th from about 2013-17 is known by the dealer they have a few bulletins to guide them on this the easiest is a re-adaption and software . .
My box seemed to get worse on 5th-4th after my 2018 service, but I thought it was just the box getting worn.
I need to take it in for a software update.
It also sometimes decides to be smooth and other times jerky, I don't know what might influence the changes.
