Hello, I have an 04 Volvo v70 with 242550 miles on it. that I’m not sure if the transmission is slipping or **2-3 shift flare" combined with a stop-to-go delay. Don’t know if those are the same things. I’m a female learning all this from google. Here is the back story. I bought a 04 Volvo last month on the 3rd. I’ve been driving it ever since. I had a mechanic look at it before I bought it test drove it and everything was fine. All I know about it is it was donated and the guy I bought it from bought it from the donation place. Interior is clean outside is clean looks token care of. Everything works passed smog and runs beautifully. I took it to get a complete car inspection and they said my transmission fluid is full, it’s old but not burnt. They ran codes on the transmission and there were no codes, they also did a road test and found nothing wrong with the car. It did run two cat(still no check engine light) codes but they look and seen the car was new so they reset them and they never came back. Some times (randomly) when I’m at a light and press on the gas to go and the rpm is going from 2-3 it will stall and not have power to go. It takes a few seconds to go normal. When it does that there is no sound or slam it just goes as normal. For the last two weeks I drove it and it didn’t do it not once to it to get checked was not doing it. Picked it up drove it that day next morning drove it to an appointment still not doing it then went to leave the appointment and it didn’t it. Took it back to that same shop and they said it the transmission it’s slipping. And they did check the fluid and I believe they said there was some debris in the fluid. I left the shop and it was not doing it. Still hasn’t done it yet. (I’m trying to catch it on video)I’m a single mom of a 4 year old and cannot afford a new transmission. So I’ve been on google for the last two days figuring out what I can do myself on the car to possibly save it. Google mentioned a soft drain and fill. And when I fill it back up add Lucas transmission fix. Then also change the** B4 Servo Cover. I can do this myself (hopefully) but is it a good idea??
