I have a 740 turbo. 1990 with 100,000 miles on it. When I floor the gas there is a bottoming out grinding noise. After that happens the car won't shift out of first gear. It will accelerate a little, but refuses to go more that 20 mph. When I let off the gas after getting up to 20 mph I hear that grinding noise again. This has happened three times (I have only had the car for 2 weeks). The first time the transmission kicked back in after driving about a mile. The second time it kicked back in after sitting in a parking lot for a half mile. This third time it is not kicking back in.
There don't seem to be any other transmission problems.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Are there any good transmission people fro volvos in the Western PA area?
