V70 1998, Auto Transmission not happy, the car seems to have to make a
real effort to pull away almost like it has selected the wrong gear
this a the mo is intermittent but becoming more regular, since have
noticed it judder as I accelerate away a couple of times
finances are not so good at the mo so any advise would be great.
Thanks
 
heiio holly
have you checked your transmission oil level lately, via dipstick
under bonnet. oil level is very critical on autos, advice is given on
how to check level in car owners handbook. DO THIS CHECK FIRST. let
me know you get on. kindest regards djdave
 
Hi
yep already checked all levels in car including auto trans fluid
since posting have found that the selecto buttons located behind the
gear lever
sports economy and winter selectors are sticking generally on the
winter button and it is a job to free it when I do the car drives as
it use to if I can’t it is sluggish?

any thoughts pleas

If its stuck in winter mode then it will pull away in 3rd.

Hi Holly,

Check the transmission fluid level. Is absolutely essential. Refill
according to manufacturer's instructions. If it recurrs, try to find the
leak.

That was my first thought. The transmission is OK. If the WINTER
button is sticking, that is the problem. When in WINTER mode the car
starts in 3rd gear. It won't hurt anything, but is very irritating as
you have found out.
