Manual Tranny 2nd to 3rd Shift S70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Tony P. on  Thu Dec 14 08:59 CST 2000 [RELATED]

My S70 T5M sometimes tends to mis-shift between 2nd and 3rd. I have generally attributed it to a combination of "operator error" and the inherent slop in the linkage for a FWD/manual tranny combination. It doesn't happen nearly as often as when I first got the car, which is why I sheepishly admit a strong likelihood of operator error. That said, in the "Chiptuning experiences[V70]" thread below, Ray Niblett indicates that there may be a TSB regarding a manual transmission problem with such symptoms. If there is a real problem, I'd like more details. I couldn't find anything in the archives.

Thanks in advance for your help.
