Greetings. I have a volvo 240 wagon that I bought this past fall. I need to take it in to get the exhaust redone on it, but I have noticed a problem in the past couple weeks. My good friend the car doesn't seem to want to shift gears (automatic, BTW) as timely as he used to.
The biggest problems are when first starting out, especially in reverse, and on hills. No problems what-so-ever on the highways (knock on wood), but it is getting to be a point of concern when starting off or going in reverse.
I am approaching a decision... how much more do I put into the car? I just replaced the rear brakes, and aside from a few "quirks" (pwr windows, etc.), my volvo has run great. Any ideas what's going on with my car? I just had an oil change and all the fluids topped, the trans. fluid was full before and full now. The shifting problems started up before the oil/fluids change. Oh, and the infamous "overdrive disabled" light has been on since I got the car, who knows how long before that... Inspection is nearly due, I need help!
Thanks, ~Z
