Hi guys. My daughter's wonderful and rare '79 242 automatic will not shift into drive gear once the tranny heats up. Kickdown cable does not seem to be the problem as I have adjusted it many times and it is not binding. This car does fine starting out with a cool tranny, but then as it warms up it will not move into high gear. One mechanic said I would have to search junkyards for a similar tranny - $600 to $850. Another tranny guy said a rebuild would be $1100. Another Volvo head said change the fluid and filter and it would clear up. Reverse is fine. 2nd and 3rd are fine as well. Very frustrated at Christmas.
