93 850 Auto Transmission misbehaving

After an absence for some time, posting again must be the "new" volve is starting to age....



Got this problem



when cold transmission doesn't want to change up, simple fix move the selector down to 3 and back to D off she goes.



Then occasionally it refuses to start, just like your not in P simple fix move the selector about a bit and off she goes.



Had an AUTO elec look at it told me that it was giving error that could indicate low fluid, checked that... no change.



Any ideas?

Very simple- replace the PND switch- its on the transmission casing.

Tim.

is it possible to do this without removing the transmission?

is it done from inside the car?

Yes, pretty easy- you might have to remove the air cleaner box though.

Anyone who has experience of the FWD Volvo's will have replaced one, if they havent- find someone else.
