Re: Shifter Lock 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray Niblett on  Tue Mar 6 18:13 CST 2001 [RELATED]

This is a common problem. Called the shift-solenoid lockout

(or something similar like Shift Microswitch Lockout).

Note that there is a little button to the right of the

shifter that manually overrides it (so you won't be stuck

if it totally fails).

Ours 95 is on its third microsowitch (and the last one was

replaced some time ago and seems to be a keeper).

Go to this site

http://volvospeed.com/bay13.htm

and pick BAY 13 to see step-by-step fix it instructions for many

of the 850/70 series common problems. Look for "Shift Microswitch

Replacement" for your issue.
