I have a 2018 V40 T2 with the 6 speed manual box. Reverse is at bottom right. Short trips the gearbox behaves perfectly but longer trips approx 35miles plus it becomes impossible to get 5th gear. No grating, clunking or other noises. It just won't go into 5th gear. No problems with the other gears.

My Volvo garage had it all day and couldn't find anything wrong with the car. Is there any history of this fault with V40s. At a loss as to what is best to do next. I will be taking it back to the volvo dealer but there is a bank holiday this weekend so nothing can get done until next week.

Please help if you can
Did they verify your fault under the conditions you say? They would need to drive the car on a 40 mile trip really which would take over an hour or a technician who lived a 40 mile journey away would take i home overnight which would give him two opportunities of verifying the fault .
