I just bought a volvo & drove it home 200 miles. It drove wonderfull all the way home and the last few days....with the exception of it seems to be in a super low gear intially and doest shift(maybe It's not engaging all the way or something) and feel normal until 2-3 minutes down the road. Last few mornings, about 55 degrees or so.....fluid is ATF fluid is full & quite red...possibly new. Could the fluid be the wrong kind or is it a switch that needs replacing ? There is a sticker on the door jamb, about a transmission microswitch that was replaced in 96............has this failed again? Anyone with suggestions or steps on how to check for switches & cheaper fixes before paying a trans shop thousands, I would sure appriciate it.
