I have a 2001 V70 T5. Just bought it. 87K. Quite an adrenaline rush HP-wise compared to my 92 740 wagon...

There is one problem. When I stop at a light, the transmission seems to come out of gear. When I take my foot off the brake, I can feel the tranny drop into first after maybe a second or so. Step on the gas, all is well.

If I step on the gas too quickly, the tranny slams into first gear.

One odd thing I've noticed - if I sit at the red light long enough with my foot on the brake, I can sometimes feel the tranny slip into first before I remove my foot. I haven't done enough research on this yet to determine if it's a constant length of time or what...

This is at least annoying and at worst a potential problem brewing.

Any thoughts?
