Default Gibbons method information

Hi,
I've recently done a flush of the auto transmission on my XC70 and did some research before hand. There are various videos on the web showing the procedure.
This one was one of the better ones although he spends time replacing a filter that he'd installed in the cooler return line, which is non-standard.
American 'quarts' are referred to and they are just less than one litre volume.
Hope this helps.

That's a good video but, if your car has the 6 speed box, then its wrong.

That is really a good video. I must order fluid, filter, clamp, o-rings, flush the gearbox, got the adaptation and I hope it will drive like new. Fingers crossed :-)

Any help would be great!

My 2000 v70 t5 auto feels like a heavy slip on pull away and but seems good on all other changes but will not rev past 3000rpm. Also I get a clunk on selection orphans reverse either hot or cold.

Any ideas are greatly appricated!

I have just got the car on the cheap so I am expecting to spend a few pennies to get it right but who knows

I have plugged a code reader in and got codes

P0605 (I think this relates to a etc fault)

P1618 (gearbox)

Thanks in advance!

Smile clunking on down shift

Hi. I hoping for a bit of help and advice. A recently bought XC90 has been 'clunking' when downshifting or when stationary and shifting from D to R.
It doesn't happen when cold but once warm it tends to be more noticeable from 2 gear to 1st. I've had the gearbox oil replaced and also have checked the level after driving (ok). Is it a common issue and how serious is it ?

Mileage is at 84k

Thanks in advance

just realised on wrong thread

Default i need help

I have a 2005 xc90 with the aw55-50 tranny, the car will drive fine in all gears and shift well for about 15 minutes then no engagement in any gear at all like I went in to neutral, just reaves up. did a flush few months ago. just changed the linier solenoids still doing the same thing. 3 codes popped up but I believe there not the issue but a symptom of the problem. the tranny makes a churning noise like a low power steering fluid sound but then goes away code p0501, p0735, p0811, abs-0125. was thing to change the valve body, but didn't want to misspend money. could it be torque converter failure? pump failure? pretty sure its not clutches since when it works it works well. thinking its an electrical failure somewhere maybe the tranny control modal? any ideas?
