Ray's correct. The replacement reman. trans will only have a 1 yr, unlimited mile parts warranty.

As for the car lasting 20+ years and/or alot of miles, sorry BUT no newer Volvo is likely to do that anymore. Volvo use to make good durable, long lasting cars but those good ol' days have been gone for years now.
Todays newer Volvos ('99 on up in particular) will be very costly to keep long once the warranty expires.

As for the adhesive fix, that's only done to stop a clicking noise heard when shifting from R to D (and D to R) and the noise can be heard turning too.
The newer type axles move in the splines causing the noise so Volvos cure is to use thread locking adhesive and it works, stops THAT noise. That has nothing to do with trans shifting problems however.
