when the shop filled the 240 with atf, they used a transmission funnel. however, I noticed that the funnel had a nice coat of dust on the inner part. the person kind of wiped it off, BUT that seemed only to loosen the dust. anyhow, to cut to the chase, atf was poured into the tranny via the funnel, which was DUSTY! upon checking the atf level, dipstick was wiped on what looked like a lint/fiberous cloth--this was no shop cloth, but just a piece of cloth that looked like a blanket.

anyhow, after reading about how "delicate" atf is and always taking the UTMOST caution when checking the atf level so as not to contaminate the fluid, I have a shop do this to ME! grrrrrr! I know in the m-b forum, people caution about atf contamination. so, is this a big deal or not for volvos? in my "atf overfill" post I mentioned a need to flush my tranny.

also, the shop used atf that seemed to have come from a bucket. they said it's dex III, but is there a way that it can be confirmed? I know my car does not use type F. grrrrrr. all this is giving me madness.
