I think my transmission is going bad and don´t know what the problem could be. My car is a Volvo XC70 year 2014 with only 210 000km which isn´t so much for a 2.4 5 cylinder volvo engine. My gearbox is called a geartronic Automatic.
I don´t have any OBDII codes. My gearbox bangs hard when I put in in Drive sometimes and also in reverse. Shifting is normal the only problem is when the car is in park and is shifted to Drive/Reverse it sometimes bangs very hard. Now I don´t know if it is the gearbox or my cv axles but I have been inspecting my cv axles and they are very good, I have also changed my cv axle gaiters with new thick oil/fat. Does someone with knowlegde of volvos know what the problem is? Volvo also says that my transmission fluid does not have to be changed?
I don´t have any OBDII codes.
That is irrelevant unless you scanned with professional-grade scan tool that will read manufacturer-specific transmission codes. Most consumer-grade scan tools are not capable of doing that. You will most likely need a transmission expert with a fancy scan tool to diagnose the problem(s).
You did not mention what your specific symptoms are. You have about 10 years and 130K real miles on that car. When is the last time the transmission was serviced?
Also please note when posting topics that the subject line is intended for a short description, not your full post. Those details should go in the body of your post. Thank you. (Title edited.)
Volvo also says that my transmission fluid does not have to be changed?
That's nonsense, at least if you want your transmission to last. All Volvo cares about is that it lasts through the warranty period.
I see you added some details, which is good, but you did so in the title line. That text has been moved into the body of your post where it belongs.
@chucktobias thank you, I´m new to this website and sorry for writing in the wrong spot. Do you maybe know why my transmission bangs and the car shakes when I put it drive? It does not always do that.
@lahdo No problem, just keep it in mind for the future.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with your car, the only Volvos I've worked on are the old 240 series and the newest one of those is over 30 years old. Possibly someone else here would know or as I said it needs to be diagnosed by a transmission expert. I do know that no matter what Volvo claims you need to have the transmission serviced regularly to get the best life out of it.
