lock up faulty 96 850 850

No, not any type of web master. I own a Volvo shop, and this is the time of year that dictates that I be sitting at my desk, and getting everything ready for the accountant and the powers that be. I prefer being in the shop, so this is what we call pro"chris"tination. I just leave this up, and if I see a question that I'm pretty sure I can answer, I do so...instead of doing my books.

Anyhow, I haven't looked up the price yet, but I do offer this as a HUGE question mark. If you keep having these "unusual" problems with your transmission, and from what I've read, they are. They aren't following the usual "oh, that's a bad transmission" format. Since all of the components actually send a signal to the computer, couldn't the computer be at fault instead of the components? They don't generally die, but then like I said, yours doesn't seem to be "general". I just pulled up www.car-part.com, and there is one place that is selling that computer for $35.00. If it's not the problem, you could ebay it for that much.

Further, with your strange cooling problem (which is following the usual coolant temp sensor format so this may be a stretch) could you be mixing coolant and transmission fluid? The radiator acts as the transmission cooler. You'd be getting some funky lookin' goo in your reservoir, and your transmission fluid would look pretty nasty...so easy, really easy to check.

Anyhow, I'm back to the books. I'll look up the number and price after I finish my Division of Corporations crap...

Chris
