Thanks for the message. When I bought the car I did the 90k service and had the tranny fluid changed at a Volvo dealer. I asked about a 'flush' versus a 'change' and they said something to the effect that they don't do a 'flush' unless there is some serious reason to do so. I had told them about this slamming problem. One person thought there might be a software fix, but that turned out to be not the case. So... they 'changed' the fluid, with Mobil/1 ATF that I provided, adding a little more of their own synthetic ATF. The problem remains.

They seemed to think that the cause was deep in the guts of the tranny someplace and that it would cost about $2500 to get at it...

I'm hoping for other ideas...

Thanks.
