The Automatic Transmision fix is available,,, finally! V70-XC70 2003

I brought my V-70 w/5,000 miles to the dealer today, for the common problem. (1)The auto trans. occasionally doesn't pick-up 3rd gear(slips),(2) hunts for the right gear after coasting downhill.
I was expecting the dealer to blow me-off, but belive it or not, The Mothership has delivered the fix, all the way from Sweden. The Software update arrived yesterday (11/25/03) it's so new the dealers don't even have the paperwork. I was the 1st customer to receive the update @ my Volvo dealer.
I'll give you the #'s he put on my repair order
30677036-3 Upgrade T
There was also a note that say's: "can take anywhere from 70 - 3,000 miles to self-adept".
This is NOT the same upgrade they have been doing for the S-80's, it's strictly for the V-70's w/the Japanese 5-speed(auto).

Hope this helps!

    I have a '04 2.5T V70. Do you or anyone else here know if this applies to my model as well. Haven't noticed a problem with the car's tranny but then again I've only owned it for a few months. Thanks in advance for any response to this.

    By saying "Paperwork", the dealership was simply using a term that all of us could understand.

    To be honest, I've been too busy lately to just read TSBs (TNNs) at work BUT FYI only, the days of "paperwork" are over. All TNNs (most recent TSBs, info) are online available to Volvo dealer employees only. Volvo stopped sending dealers paperwork years ago.

    I'm glad for you and others who've been complaining about this that new SW is now available.
