I posted another message a couple of days ago about my experience with a
dealer ('99 S80 90K service horror story - Volvo of Stamford (CT))

Now I'm wondering what if any damage might have been done to my
transmission, driving 800-900 miles in fairly heavy traffic while the
transmission was missing 3 quarts ATF. Traffic is rush hour on a congested
highway (I-287 & TZ Bridge) - so the speeds range 10mph-80mph-0-40mph, etc.

Also, if there is potential damage would it defeinitely show up right away,
as the dealer claims, or can it crop up in the future?

Thanks for any info.

I M H O the dealer owes you a New or rebuilt at the least transmission.

He took life out of the transmission.
HE OWES YOU!!

That is dealer talk for "If it doesn't fail tomorrow, I'm going to forget I
ever met you sucker."

I would say as long as the transmission wasn't slipping at all (that
would cause wear on the friction material), then any problem would show
up immediately due to poor lubrication. I don't think that anybody
could really say for sure one way or the other, though.
