If you fixed the car, it wouldn't be worth much more then $3500. It's a tough call. I would try the trans fluid flush. It's not uncommon for the fluid to get that smell after all those miles. And I don't think you can do any more damage then may presently exist.

Did you go to a dealer or an independent shop? The fault codes dealing with any problem with any of the 4 solenoids are specific to that solenoid. The shop should have been able to tell you which solenoid it was. Look at the volvospeed website I gave you earlier. You can see for yourself.

I suggest you submit a post to the board asking for recommendations for a repair shop in or near nyc. You can specify that you may need a new transmission inside your post.

Good luck.
