I just wanna let you guys know what the problem was. I changed the valvebody and now it shifts like new :) took me maybe a day in the garage. Not so difficult but had to lower the subframe to get the body out. SLC1 solenoid was totally stuck. Maybe something more was wrong with it but I havent...

Hi thanks for your reply. I got the problems first time I changed the fluid with the new thinner oil and resetting of adaptions. After driving around a couple of weeks with that I changed fluid again to the old style 3309 oil. The symptoms are the same. It seems like something is going on...

Okay so I think I have found the problem. This is the SLT solenoid in the valve body. Actual current is differing from asked current. Cannot see the pressures in Volvo Vida but I guess this shows pretty much the same. There is probably an internal leak in the valve body that showed up when I...

There is only a screen inside these transmissions. Have to take the trans out and into pieces to reach it. No pan. :/

I dont think so. But in sport mode it behaves like I wanted it to do when I was 20. :P high reva and sensitive gaspedal.

So an update then... I flushed 20 l of Ravenol T-IV yesterday. No improvement. It even became slightly worse. So now I dont know what to do. It really feels like its an adaptationproblem or valvebody. But the weird thing is that in sport mode or manual (Geartronic-mode) the shifts are firm...

Haha yeah well 🤷 I didnt really listen to that actually. I know by my own experience that automatics usually have pretty dark fluid in them if they arent maintained regulary. And here in Sweden where manual car is the most common still, people listen to dealers saying its "a lifetime oil" in...

As you see its black. With a hint of red.

This is how the fluid looked like. It wasnt any grit in it. I also took a magnet and fished around with it without finding anything that wanted to stuck on the magnet. I dont think its something wrong with the gearbox. It shifted fine before I changed fluid.

I will give it 500 miles more. No difference and I will go with that 👍

I dont know how sensitive the tf80 is to be overfilled.... Maybe try to add 0.3 liters extra to it and see what happens. But I think if it would be low fluid level it should flare when cold and not warm? I do know the level is right on point at the moment though. I checked it twice. Last...

Wrote a little with a guy from Sonnax checking if they have valve body for my box. (If ever needed) They didnt. Only to first generation. Anyway. He suspects my gearbox is toast because the fluid of the initial drain was really dark. Me... i dont think anyone can say that by looking at the...

Anyway. I have a recording of it happening. This is how it behaves. Put sound on and you hear the engine rpm's rise when the shift happen. I also have indicator mode on in the video. Solid info light= lockup activated No light= no lockup Blinking light = Partial lockup

😂

Ok well the car does not have harsh engagement in D or R whatsoever. So I dont know. Sometimes... Only sometimes there is a short delay putting it in D until engagement. I read a thread in another place about someone had to change valvebody and his car also developed problems when the trans...

I will update :) But I dont really know how harmful these shift flares are? If I drive too long with it will it burn the clutches up I guess?

Okay thank you for your comments :) It is only on low rpm's when cruising like a swede it flairs. If I give it more then 50 % throttle it does not happen. Thats why my thoughts are that it may be pressure issues. Im pretty sure I have done the adaption re-learning enough though. I think I've...

Thank you for the response. In Vida you can activate adaptive learning program in the car and within an our of driving it should have adapted to the new fluid. I've done that several times without any change. And then driven it at least 500 miles normal driving. Does not higher viscosity...

And yes I did an adaptation drive with Vida and have driven at least 500 miles since then so I dont think it is an adaptation-problem.
