This is just my experience & others, notably, Klaus are much more informed than I am. We took the car to the local dealer to see about a transmission software upgrade but they told us it likely wouldn`t make a difference. Of course, the dealer was willing to sell us a rebuilt transmission for 5K. We did the B4 servo cover from IPD & did the tranny oil change. It did make a difference for about two months but the hard shifting came back.
Our `03 still runs strong with a good body, etc but it became impossible to drive in city traffic.
We have an `04 XC70 that doesn`t have tranny issues whatsoever despite fairly high mileage. Just bought a 2012 XC60R.......what a Volvo!
Good luck!
