Turned out to be the mode switch. $145 for parts and labor is all it took. I thought it was super cheap since my parents didn't have to replace the transmission and I didn't have to chase the problem by incorrectly replacing the PNP switch.

Southlake Volvo in Atlanta, Georgia said that there were no fault codes pertaining to the transmission. They also said that the transmission was shifting hard after the flush. The car drove fine when I picked it up and put it on the trailer. I took the car to a second mechanic who verified that there were no fault codes in the computer. I left it overnight and he left it outside in the cold. Sure enough, the problem returned the next morning. When he got back to his shop he checked the computer and, yes, there was a fault code for the mode switch.

I highly recommend Braxton Automotive Group on Howell Mill Road (independent Volvo and BMW repair). I'll let you make your own assumptions about Southlake Volvo, which is owned by Ron Swatty (he has several franchise dealerships in Atlanta).
