Okay, here we go……
I was lucky enough to have a shop suggest a transmission fluid change on my 2003 XC70 (I was also dumb enough to approve it) and they remove the dreaded 27mm bolt to install new fluid and my car lost third gear. The shop was clueless as to what went wrong. I actually found what cause the problem on this forum (Thanks Guys!) and suggested they look in to. The shop has since looked into it and agreed that this is what has caused the problem (they also admitted fault). They have since sent the car into a transmission shop to have it looked at and they are suggesting a transmission rebuild.
What are my options here? Is this my only option? What is the history with transmission shops having the ability to properly rebuild a Volvo Transmission? Are my chances for future issues high?
Thanks for any suggestion or advice.
