Default Part # for Neutral/Stop software patch

After many requests, have made this a sticky.
This applies to AW55/50 auto transmisson boxes, and their variants, mainly applies to model years 1999 to 2002, check your VIN with Volvo.
This prevents the car automatically seeking neutral while waiting in 1st at traffic lights or in jams, the patch prevents the big thump and consequent wear when pulling away from stationary while the transmission is in "D".

The Volvo Part number that you should ask for is:-
Neutral control by software = 30646691
TCM software upgrade = 30677036

Prices as at August 2010 were
30646691 = £9.11p
30677036 = £14.20

All + VAT

Will this cure slipping between second and third gears? This has happened immediately after adaptation & fluid counter reset.

No, this just fixes the bang when pulling away after an idleing stop.
Your issue sounds like sticky valave body poppets.

There is a thread on here somewhere (from 2012) that details how to remove the valves, take them to bits to clean them out then rebuild them and replace them back in to the autobox, fiddly is what it looks like but certainly worth a shot, or you can purchase replacement valves and fit them - Mike

This is mine down to a T. . So I'm off to Volvo Garage to have a service and the FREE updates they said if needed ( 2002 xc70 petrol )

Now then is there a way to find out what's on before the service and after. As they said NO. . . which is strange I would have thought there computers would say this is on and then it needs this update so to say or are they correct ?

Yes indeed , before the software is downloaded it lists the modules which will be updated ... Ask for that before they do the job .

Just picked up my v70 geartronic 2.4t from Harrats volvo in Huddersfield after an ATF change and software update(never had one) and difference is amazing!!
Neutral stop has been removed and the car is much more responsive and the jerky 2-3 change is smooth now. Cost was £185 including fluid counter reset and adaptions reset. Invoice shows £48 for fluid and £16 fro update and the rest labour and vat.
