Unusual power loss----AGAIN V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be mickey on  Sun Jan 30 08:50 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Well.........on Friday when it was about 1F in the morning, I started my 98V70 R AWD, warmed it up for 10 minutes, went to drive up the street and AGAIN....like I had a 10,000lb boat trailer I was pulling. Stopped car..put in neutral..I can rev the engine allllll day long and its as smooth as silk. This time the car took 6 miles of driving to slowly get normal operation. The more I drove, the lighter the trailer got in a sense. what I am wondering is this a problem with the "torque converter"????? Again....its like i had a 10,000lb trailer attached to the car...........no check engine lights or anything! Insights?? I am now wondering if before a major mechanical diaster I should dump this thing!!! My confidence is getting shaken!
