anyone heard of this???
I recently used my 1986 740 automatic (no overdrive)to jump another vehicle w/ a dead battery...
shortly thereafter, the volvo barely moves forward as if it is in a very high gear, but it goes in reverse as normal. The tranny doesn't feel like it is slipping, it is like it is in neutral or something???
I used the throttle inside the hood to rev it up to supply amps to the other car, so I checked the "kick down cable" which appears to be fine???
what else could this be???
