Default Auto box fluid change

Hi...my auto box is slipping when it changes gear but once in gear it pulls like a train even if i floor it....would a fluid change help the slipping in between gear changes and if it would is there any pics or help on how to do it...mine is a V70 D5 2007 geartronic 185.
Thanks

A full fluid change or simply a drain & fill often cures ills like yours.
How many miles are on your vehicle?

It is so easy to do all you need is a 17mm hex and a couple of torx bits (be careful as the one on the top is quite large (t60 from memory?). Also need the 2 gaskets and an o-ring. I have previously done a write up on how I did it.

Best bit of advice I can give you having spent considerable time here is to NOT cycle the gearbox through P, R, N and D for 2 seconds but rather do the first dump and refil and then leave it a week or so to stick a couple hundred miles in. It’s clear that putting the vehicle into gear for 2 secs or even 10 does not circulate the fluid through the box.

XC90 i guess you are confused with the gearbox you need a 17 to take the sump bolt ( 1 washer needed) and a pan for the oil ..it will came out around 3,2 Liters ( i guess)
Put back what ever comes out

here is an example..you dont need the pump just a funnel....

I think you are confused. You need a 40 torx to remove the drain level, a 17hex to remove the drain bolt and a 60 torx to undo the fill plug.

Or at least that’s how I did it 3 or 4 times.

You are talking auto gearbox here and not engine are you? Also the engine is not a 17 hex...

The system that XC90 is describing is the system on the xc p3 with the bolt that levels the fluid

Does your has the yellow dipstick?

Yes and that gearbox (TF80SC) is fitted to later P2 hence the advice given. It's not only on P3.

You're talking about the AW55/50 or 51 fitted to earlier P2.
