Very common with the AW TF80SC gearbox. My 2012 xc60 D5 did this at 45K so i changed the gearbox oil with the correct Volvo oil and have no problems since ,now at 81K.
I now replace 4L of oil every 20k.

Yep.
2011 XC60 with 118,000 miles on the clock. Volvo have done the adaption's to the bearbox but that hasnt sorted the issue. Now looking at £2200 worth of solenoids in the box to solve it. Know fault on these boxes and cars.

so the adaption hasn't worked , this is a known fault and has a known cure , it's nothing to do with solenoids . It is internal leakage on the mainshaft metal piston ring type seals behind the torque converter . Volvo have had modified seals for the last 3 years for this repair , your dealer will tell you all about it . Who told you is was solenoids?

I agree with the above completely but the problem is many dealers are ignorant of it - my dealer told me categorically that there where no replaceable parts in the gearbox, so I had to go to my local Indie. My problem was cured with a software update though (which the dealer should have done at the service I presume....?)

Many AWD Volvo's do have a bit if driveline shunt that is evident on torque reversal (i.e. D to R or on/off throttle) - this is the combined lash in the gearbox, front differential, angle drive, propshaft joints etc. and sounds like a click.

The first action is always a software update as that adds the adaption modes which were not there up until this fault developed . Every dealer has had plenty of information on this , it was sent out and training done 5 years ago .

Hi Clan, thats interesting, mine already has the adaptions mode, so can i assume mine has already had the updates done already and would be wasting time and money checking the software at Volvo?

gearbox ( and other ) software tweaks are ongoing, often updated .. you get free updates with every service , they will tell you which modules were updated if you ask before .
