V70 G/box: 2WD: - Serious rookie mistake, GB fluid - Page 5

Redone it this morning, impossible for me to check the level on flat ground, the car is far too low, its so low as i cant use normal ramps lol

I took it for a test drive and now its back to its normal clunky self, will that settle or is that there to stay now till it gets worse?

There is at least one long timer here who only saw improvement on the second change.

Thanks, in effect i have done it 3 times now but i spose the 1st didnt count as it was engine oil, i then did an sump dump and refil with proper fluid. 3rd time, i had actually only ordered 10L not 20L, but it did get a full 8L flush 2x4L as i still had some left over from the 1st debacle, looks like i really need to give it at least another 8L?

I would AND I would absolutely ensure that level is bang on.

Cheers chap, i was basing the level of the oil on what i had removed but whos to say the that that was the correct level before i started, it may have been fiddled with prior to me getting the car....

I spoke to volvo today when i was in there collecting the gasket for the oil drain plug, the service guy didnt seem to think that a software update would resovle the gearbox issue

Hi folks, put about 18L through it, taken it for a good run and given it the same amount of stick as i would to get it to show its true colours, it didnt happen, no lumps or jolts, so i tried harder, taking it through the gears many times and stil as smooth as a baby's butt, BUT, when i got home and used reverse, theres still a wee jolt but its a double jolt now, it seems worse from drive to reverse, Park to reverse is better, not as jolty. Thing is, there wasnt a double jolt before. I did the level on the level, about 2L flowed out. Im not sure if it was up to temp though but the engine certainly was. I wasnt sure how to do it with Vida to be honest and as i was already on th job and needed to wrap it up i just take a guess, if anything it was prob only about 30-40ºC cause it didnt feel too hot on my fingers, thoughts please, but i do like the way it was driving

Maybe it's going to take a few more shifts to unstick the reverse cloggy bits?
