Car Forum / Volvo Cars / November 2004Slipping Tranny - 97 850GLT
I changed the oil in the tranny of the 97 850GLT. Now I get lousy mileage. What gives? The tranny feels like it is slipping...The level is good... G. Omraju New York Are you getting a harsh downshift during braking and a harsh re-engage upon acceleration? That's what's happening to my 95 wagon at 120k. Runs fine cold. I've had major slipping problems but that was over a month or two ago. Now it's just the shifting issues. Tranny has been flushed, and the fluid is still looking good. Mileage is around 22-23, but I still gotta do new cap/rotor and some other maintenance it's also been rather cold. >I changed the oil in the tranny of the 97 850GLT.

Lousy lousy mileage...18mpg in city when I used to get 23 mpg before the change. I'm averaging 22.5, probably could be just a bit better with a new cap and rotor I want but the plugs are new.

I'm only getting 15 mpg on my '96 850, with only 63 Kmiles !!! Even though I've got new cap/rotor/plugs/airfilter/fuel filter, and I just had the tranny flushed and refilled by the Volvo dealer. The Volvo dealer told me I needed a new transmission ($3K) because I had a "Solenoid B malfunction" indication, but that went away (and hasn't come back) since I had them flush and replace the fluid. I still feel like the tranny shifts more often than it should. What else can I check ? or is it really that I need a new tranmission? > I'm averaging 22.5, probably could be just a bit better with a new cap and > rotor I want but the plugs are new.

Not an insult...seen the mistakes made and made some of my own. The oil was a dexron III ATF as specified in the manual and Haynes. Is it because I changed the tranny oil at 105K miles? |
