Hi, my xc60 of 80'000 miles currently suffers from the following:

1. difficulty selecting 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 6th gears, feels sort of dry. Cannot select 5th or reverse

I first noticed the problem two days ago so I took it to a garage in Carlisle that specialise in volvo, bmw & merc as it also needed an MOT. The initial synopsis is that my MOT failed on rear pads and discs and that the gears problem is not to do with the cables. They said that they will need to go deeper into the gear box to find what the issue is.

Spoke to them just now and they are consulting with Volvo to find out if there are other examples of this happening. So far they think that something may be jammed in the remote unit that translates the gear selection to the main box so it could mean a new remote unit. Any body else with this issue? Any way to find out what the part may cost approximately?

Thanks for reading.
