My 95 tranny will not shift from 1st to 2nd if the selector is in low. I haven't tried to run it up to 5500rpm because that isn't good for the engine or tranny. If I select low under 25mph, it will grab 1st gear. Above 25mph, selecting low will get me 2nd gear until I get to 24mph - wham... 1st gear! Selecting 3rd is OK.
I would suggest a tranny flush, it is easy to do in your own garage. I just buy a case of Dextron III (12 quarts) and stop at 12 quarts. Clean enough for me.
If it is the PNP, first take the air cleaner box out and check for leaves and other dirt on top of the switch area. My V70 was full of debris. Clean it out with a hose or vacuum cleaner. That dirt will only make matters worse.
My cars usually warm up within the first mile of driving, until it gets below zero F. Then it takes 2 to 3 miles of easy driving.
