V70 transmission V70-XC70 1998

I just found out that I have to have a new automatic transmission put into my 1998 V70. This is due to the fact that the transmission solenoid pack shorted to ground, also damaging the transmission controller.

Does anyone know if the transmission solenoid pack can be replaced, rather than the whole automatic transmission?

    Never heard of that before and being a Volvo master tech, I think I would have IF it was possible. Who told you that, I'd guess not a dealer? They're saying "bad trans AND bad trans ECU"? Highly unlikely.
    What code(s) are stored?

    I'd get another opinion from the info so far. Even IF you have codes indicating bad shift solenoids, they can be replaced w/o replacing the entire trans.

      What is your opinion on the damage that would have been caused to an AWD 1998 auto tranny by having bad fluid left in there. Mine had a definite thud at about 80 to 90 kmh when gently re applying pressure, as per the TSB 430029 May 2000.

      Also, are you aware if Volvo issued a bulletin to dealers suggesting more frrequent tranny oil changes. Please send me an email if that is OK, as I do not look here often, cossars@bigpond.net.au

      Thanks
