I have had nothing but trouble with most of the easily available thermostats from large chain auto parts stores.

I only sell and use thermostats that I have to buy from wholesale auto parts suppliers that specialize in European cars. They sell the same brands that Volvo uses.

I keep in stock a 158° thermostat made by Calorstat made in France and a 165° thermostat made by Wahler in Germany.

Considering it was fine before you worked on it and that you had to partially disassemble the transmission to reseal it, I am going to have to assume you may have accidentally dislodged a shift dog and/or spring or some other internal part(s). And if I am correct, you will have to remove the transmission and have it reassembled correctly and possibly rebuilt if something got damaged.
