Default Xc90 d5 2005 auto box

Hi.

I have a xc90 2005 d5 auto which is misbehaving. It is choosing a gear at odd times. Other times the gear changes are a bit harsh. These are not all the time. The most common symtom is when i am sat in traffic in drive but foot on brake. When i lift the brake its takes 2 or 3 seconds to move forward and does it with a jolt.
Then today i was at lights when a service transmission message appeared and i was stuck in 3rd or 4th. The D on the dash turned to - and when i tried to change gear the manual way it wouldnt allow me to. I parked at supermarket for 30 mins. Message was gone upon return and gearbox was back to being a little rough and irratic.

I have checked fluid which seems ok and it is not noisy. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix.

Thank you

Have you done a search on here yet?

How long is it since the fluid in the gearbox was changed?

Go to Horton Cars. See Graham and get an informed opinion about the state of the box and your options.

Default auto gearbox fluid service

Has anyone on this forum carried out this themselves?
The only problem I have is getting the level correct - you have to know when the gearbox oil is at 50deg C? with the drain bolt removed.
I am looking to get this done soonest - today a warning light came on indicating the gearbox needs a service.
Mark.

If yours is a five speed auto ( probably will be ) it has a yellow dipstick between box and radiator to check level.

If you precisely measure what you empty out and put that amount back in then you can be incorrect, unless of course its already incorrect....

Mass does not change with temperature - volume does.

So I have just loosened the fill bolt on the top of the box today ready to do the oil change tomorrow.
I'm out AM so will drop the oil when I get back while the oil is hot. I have already removed the sump cover and cleaned around the sump bolt.

I'm gonna do mine once the fluid comes, does it have to be hot then?
