V70 T5 2001 Gear Box clunk on first V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be steven on  Wed May 6 03:37 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Guys,

I recently bought V70 T5 2001 - 84K km in Australia. I like it quite a lot. It is fast and responsive car, but sometimes has a strange issue with the gear box - Automatic 5 speed Geatronics.
When I am waiting on the traffic light in Drive (stepping on the brakes) and then start the gear box *occasionally* clunks/bumps on first gear. No problems so far with upper gears.
I have read few stories on the 2001-2003 Geabox. Some is saying it is problem with the software !?
Example: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081114041842AAQ9qjP
"..The V70 has a Asian Warner transmission in it. That trans has been very reliable. 2001 and early 2002 had a problem due to software but that can be fixed with software if it hasn't been already. just put it in reverse the drive and feel for two bumps like it engaged drive twice. Also put in drive and wait and feel if it goes in neutral after three seconds. that's normal but the software upgrade will get rid of it. All things considered it is a great transmission ..."

It is true ? I am new to this model.
What is your experince? Do I need to change the gear box ($$$) ?
Any opinion will be good.
Regards, Steven
