Some solenoid faults are not electrical but are caused by hard deposit build up in the solenoid valve. When the valve heats up and expands slightly this can cause the valve to drag slightly which delays the change and generates a clunk.
Clean oil can help, it did on mine but to make it perfect it's a set of solenoids and/or a valve body.
A valve body is not a huge job on a xc90.
