Car Forum / Volvo Cars / November 2004'95 850 turbo transmission ?
Daughter has a '95 850 Turbo Volvo, 165,000 mi. She's not mechanical. My mechanic, whom I trust, says transmission fluid is "scorched" and is "banging gears." What is the life expectancy of this transmission? What is the cost to replace? Is it worth it on a 10-yr-old vehicle? TIA JB > Daughter has a '95 850 Turbo Volvo, 165,000 mi. She's not mechanical.

What do you think of the shifting? Second question - what colour is the fluid? If it's shifting roughly, just try flushing the fluid, and see what happens.  SignatureMike F.

Shifting: occasionally ok, occasionally erratic, occasionally illogical. Fluid: since he said "scorched" I didn't ask details. I assume in the dark brown range. What are the odds it will go another 10K? > > Daughter has a '95 850 Turbo Volvo, 165,000 mi. She's not mechanical.

But it may quit today with our without a flush. It's too hard to guess. SignatureMike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont. Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
