850 Wagon Wont shift when cold 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Keith on  Sun Mar 4 04:34 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have a 850 Turbo Wagon 1994 with 76 K on it. Had the tranny fluid flushed/replaced recently because when the car is cold I have to drive in 3rd for about 3-5 miles before shifting back to Drive as it will stay in what seems like 2nd gear and the rpm's go up very fast! Talked to 2 dealers who told me it needed replcement at almost 3k, and 1 mechanic who said the inner seals were just hard and it would go away when summer came. he said they called this "morning sickness" with Volvo and SAABs and it would not harm the tranny at all. After it settles in, it drives like a dream. Any others have this problem with the 850 automatic? Any advise is appreciated.
