Re: 5-speed automatic transmission problem S80 1999

Sorry, but mine is a 5-speed AW5 with L-2-3-4-D-N-R-P positions and a Winter button. This trans have been installed in the 5 cylinder S80 range only. Have you got any idea of where to get detailed information or technical specifications?

I agree that the whole thing can just be a ´feature´ (like the frequent crashes of the Windows operating systems, ha-ha!). But I have driven all the competitors - M-B, BMW, Audi, Saab - and none of them have a similar feature.

And I know that every company improves the quality of it´s software continuously. Fair to say that in all other situations the trans works very well, indeed. Most of the time it shifts up and down smoothly, is very well balanced with the engine and doesn´t learn/adapt too much, either, like in BMW.

Regards,

Hannu
