2001 V70 T5 Geartronic trouble V70-XC70

Hey fellow Brickboarders.
I have a 2001 V70 T5 with the geartronic transmission that is
down and out for the moment. The transmission started acting up all of a sudden at a red light, the car would not move forward in D until RPM's were increased to about 2.500. the reverse is completely out.
The codes read with the OBD II reader are P0733, Gear 3 ratio incorrect and what I think is an emmissions related code : P1618 Manufacturer control access. input / output.
Has anyone else had any or both of those codes come up together with
any transmssions related issues. I would very much appreciate any help you gould give me.
Thanks
Thomas

    The P1618, what ever that is, is not emissions related. It is a Volvo only code and also has nothing to do with the tranny.
    The p0733 may indicate a problem with a solonoid, which are easily replaced. The reverse gear not working at all is quite unusual. Did you check the tranny fluid level and color? Is the up shift arrow blinking? Have you ever downloaded new software for the TCU? Is the "M" button depressed?

      Klaus.
      Thanks for your reply!
      I have checked the fluid level and it is OK, the fluid
      is however contaminated and has a brownish tint to it.
      The shift arrow is not blinking but the DID indicates
      that transmission service is urgent.
      To my knowlege, no software updates has been done to the TCU.
      If you with the "M" button means the Winter mode button
      it was not depressed.
      Thanks
      Thomas
