850 Transmission Service????

Check your tranny level according to the instructions in the manual. It can be very bad to overfill a tranny. 2 pints is quite a bit if it was full.

If you don't know when the tranny fluid was last changed, I would do that. Maybe a flush while you're at it. I assume the car has more than 100k miles.

If the 850 has more than 50,000 miles, than this indicates that it's ready for the junkyard.

My 94 turbo wagon ran fine for 230,000 miles, Only major issues were rear crank oil seal, CV joing boots, and one front wheel bearing. I fixed all myself except the crankshaft seal.

I sold it 2 weeks ago (with more oil leaks) for $1200 and bought an Audi A3 3.2 (seats are terrible relative to the Volvo's)

Since this just started after you "did something" I'd try to undo it. Start with a full flush using the proper (Dexron) fluid.

Yes, my 850 GLT has 181k on it and it performs quite well apart from this development. I also got the service documents of the car after careful review realize that hash transmission shift has happened to this car twice and it was resolved by flushing the tranny fluid. I will try out flushing the tranny and see what happens.

Thanks for the help
