[QUOTE="CV355, post: 15586573, member: 181885"] The bad luck train left the station for my wife and I this past week. Her Jeep is completely out of commission due to a serious car accident I can't talk about (not her fault, that's all I'll say). We're down to just my Volvo S40T5 to get around (I refuse to DD the GT500, and motorcycles suck in the rain), and the poor Volvo is starting to develop transmission issues. It shifts firm, doesn't slip, but seems to "hunt" between 4th and 5th gear at low throttle. It can't just pick a gear and stay unless it's on an open highway with no traffic, or under decent load. I'm leaning towards a valvebody issue. It's an '08 with a Geartronic AW55-51. I would just opt to use the manual shift option except that the switch broke and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. 122k on the clock, mostly highway miles and gentle driving. Any ideas? This really sucks right now. I apologize if this is in the wrong forum subsection- didn't see anywhere else where it fit. [/QUOTE]
