Edit: I was in college and likely hungry, lacking sleep and Mommy and daddy were out on this one. Continued driving the car until 2014 with a new upper engine mount and a lower transmission mount. The AWD was completely fine.
I could rip my hair out.I just spent $3,700 on repairing the transmission in my '99 XC after a bout with the flashing up arrow. That was back in November of last year. And for the last couple days, I've noticed some really disturbing behavior. As soon as I let off the gas pedal, my RPM's drop suddenly to idle speed (about 800 RPM and as soon as I press the gas pedal, it responds just like it should. I've also noticed a harsh jolt that happens sporadically. Typically, it seems like the RPM's should gradually lower, When I upshift, the RPM's hardly lower at all, they dip about 500 then go to normal rotational speed around 2000 RPM (at 65 mph) Transmission fluid seems unchanged since this started happening. Nothing burnt, but the fluid hasn't been bright red for a while now.Any ideas?? It's very scary. I love this Volvo, but if I have to rebuild the transmission again on this car in less than one year, I am going to be so done. Well, in spirit, I will be. has just started happening little over one week ago. Could it be the transmission mount? Should I change the transmission fluid?
