XC90 gearbox problem

Djonesy · Dec 29th, 2018, 12:32

Hi,
My 2012 XC90 sometimes has a hard gear change in 1st gear. It almost jumps into first gear from a standing start (when warm) and also jumps back in 1st when reducing speed. There is also a whirring sound (like a binding nose) when the car is first started. This goes away after 5 mins. I would like to know how to fix.... any advice will be welcome. Thank you.

What model is it and how many miles has it done?

Hi,
It is a R-design 2.4 D5 AWD.
It's done 78k

Have you ever done an oil change?
Have you ever reset the adaptations?
Have you read the fault codes?

I would change the gearbox oil and don't let any garage tell you that it is not recommended.
