Selecting 1st and reverse gear
I have a V reg. V70, and have problems selecting 1st and reverse gear when the engine is cold, and particularly when the weather is also cold. I gather other people have had the same problem, and wonder if anyone has found the best solution. I am reluctant to take the car to a Volvo garage, as I have experienced their exorbitant charges for unnecessary work. I would appreciate any advice, before I try to find someone to resolve this problem. If I can get the car into 1st gear, and move forward a couple of feet, I can usually select reverse, but it can be quite a struggle. I am also worried I may be doing some damage to the clutch/gear box.

Auto? Manual?
If auto, try changing the atf.

Should have said, it is a manual. Do you have any further ideas? Thanks.

If you post the thread in the v70 section someone may be able to help there.

Interested to see the outcome of this one. I have a 2000 S80 that does the same. Always the First Selection of the day, either fwd or reverse it "clunks" in. After that it's fine for the rest of the day.

Hi, seemed to be solved after replacing the lower engine mount. Now all is in the right position and goes as it should. Just started a weird clunking noise probably from transmission starts when the car gets warm
CV joints fine, drive shafts checked How about you? Jan Quote:
