car is 2000 V70 SE w/ 48,000 miles...

have read where the AW5 transmission is not the favorite choice of many drivers. But have put up with it till now.

At low speeds/slowly decelerating to a stop, trans will clunk when in downshifts passing through 12-15 mph. Hard to duplicate symptoms but when it does it, it's obvious, annoying and can't be any good.

Dealer says so far they cant detect the trouble on a road test, but the service advisor did a high speed test and then ran a diagnostic.

But it;s there and it's getting worse, and I will take the tech for my own test drive.

Anyway, any similar symptoms out there and what was the repair?

Thanks

Robert

The dealer is BSing you....they know about the problem with the AW5, and they know Volvo says to flush with the Volvo branded($$$) synthetic ATF. I had a slight shudder at lock up in 4 gear in my AW4, and the trans was flushed under warranty...I think it would have been like $250 just in ATF alone if I would have had to pay.....but anyhow the dam thing NEVER in 30K mi. shifted better!
