Very cool day today ! The 'box only slipped and clunked when reversing up the drive,(this is after driving from around 450M to 1250M ) it has to rev at 1500 before the beast starts to move, so it proves ? it is must be a heat problem, maybe stick another cooler in tandem may help ? Also has had 30 litres through the 'box .

I've just re-read your first post.
do not shift into neutral at the lights, you are only manually re-creating the problem the later software fix tried to eliminate! stay in D unless you are in an accident zone

OP.
Does your car still have the auto neutral select function , ie when you brake to a stop the gearbox goes into neutral after 2 seconds . Then there would be a 5 second delay before drive resumed. The problem was if you selected N and then D and hit the gas before the drive had engaged it would come in with an almighty bang. Volvo released a software fix to get rid of the function. The function doesn`t work in Geartronic or Winter modes so it`s an easy way to check. So , although Barry beat me to it , He`s right. |

I agree with the above. Never shift to N when waiting at lights, etc. You also need to make sure the B4 cover was already updated. I understand you had the car from 2004 so you may suppose there is a chance it wasn't updated before. Also go ahead and make sure the neutral stop was disabled. As for the delay and hard engaging in D (banging), if you want to take the risk, find someone with Vida or with a performant scanner, and reset the adaptations - this must be done only in a warm day, after having driven the car for 1-2 hours. Once the adaptation is reset - it's being done with the engine running, don't stop the engine and start by getting the transmission to relearn: switch from P to D and wait 5 seconds, then repeat until you feel it's engaging smoothly in D. It should do it quite quickly, after a few tries or even right away. Then do the same from N to R. Then accelerate from 0 to 50mph (or 60 if you can) slowly, allowing all gears to engage gently, then come to a stop the same way, slowly. Repeat 3-4 times. Then you may finally turn off the engine. Once done, I think it's very important not to drive the car for a while on motorway. Instead drive only urban areas to have the transmission shift as much as possible for the next few weeks. All this should be done in weather over 15C, never in cold weather (the adaptations need warm transmission fluid to be learned)

This "dont change to neutral" idea appears conflicting when googling it, some say to do it, others say to don't.
I myself have always done it, my reasoning is so that you can use the handbrake thus releasing the callipers from the discs, largely reducing the chances of warping them or DTV. I bet a higher percentage of warped discs or DTV are on automatic cars

My car doesn`t have the feature and i shift into neutral when stationary. I do this for a few reasons , one is i hate the idea of the engine lugging against the transmission. It seems like slipping the clutch and causing unecessary wear.
Using the handbrake to keep it working nicely. There must be an increase in fuel consumption as well , i would think. Also , when i first got the car i would sit on the brake . I got through loads of brake bulbs which really cheesed me off. The other feature which i`ve never liked is the warm up shift delay. On first pull-away the car hangs much tool long in 2nd for my liking and then when it does shift it goes with a real lurch.So i always use geartronic from cold for the first mile or two and take it gently. The car is coming up for it`s fourth trans-oil change and is still sweet as a nut. |

It was me Bashy ! The extra cooler worked fine and made a big difference but it now appears the 'box is reverting back to it's old way, that's why I have considered putting another cooler in Tandem , the 'box is smooth as silk until it gets hot , even reverse is so smooth ,cannot even feel the take up , everthing changes as it should , just the Delay in Reverse or rush it and get a massive Clunk !!
