850 intermittent tranny issue 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Molly on  Fri Jul 3 18:34 CST 2015 [RELATED]

Hey guys-

My '97 850 T_5 wagon has suddenly developed an intermittent transmission problem. Here are the symptoms:

1) started car and shifted into park and car barely moved. I was able to get it up to about 35mph to get it home.
2) no orange arrow on instrument panel
3) goes into reverse fine (a little clunking)
4) moved shift with foot on brake - did not help
5) could not turn winter/wet traction on
6) Waited a day or two and car worked fine. Then the problems developed again. Car sat for a couple of hours and the car was fine.

The transmission fluid is full, but I will change it over the weekend.

It is my commuting car and I like it better than my XC60.

Thanks for the help
