HELP! volvo 940 turbo 91 transmission problem AW71L - auto 900 1991

My brick just hit 160k!

On my way home one evening, I noticed that she wasn't making it into 4th.

I took her to the shop, and at first they thought it was a solenoid problem.

However, after replacing the solenoid (13 years old), she still wasn’t shifting into 4th.


Now, the chaps at the shop want to replace the entire tranny for $2600, but the car is worth $2000.


Has anyone else had this problem?

Is there another solution to this problem, other than replacing the tranny?

If I replace the tranny, how much life can I pull out of her?

At 160K miles, is replacing the tranny worth it? My goal was 200K.



Since I have a turbo, should I expect engine problems soon?



Other than the tranny, she runs like a dream.



Thanks for your help
