Thanks for the reply. The car has 94k miles but I have had the problem for a little over a year. Seems to get worse in the summer when the temps are higher here in Southern California. Fluid replacement was tried w/o help. The reason I suspect the winter mode is because when it occurs the car initially accelerates the same as when the winter mode is purposely selected. After 1-4 seconds it suddenly then slams into first gear and shifts normally. Your valve theory seems possible. Is there any Volvo approved additive that you know of that may help? Do you have any idea which year tranmissions will fit?
