Howdy,
I've got a 2001 XC70 that is in desperate need of a transmission flush, I called around and the dealer is about 350 for the flush vs. one of the local lube shops (locally owned not a franchise) for somewhere in the vicinity of $150 bucks. There are tons of volvo's around here and they swear up and down that they know what they are doing and will use only fluid that meets the manufacture spec. does anybody see any issue in having a local shop do the flush?
Also, as I live in a snowy place, I'm wondering it is bad for the transmission to throw it into manual mode and tell it what to do when slippery roads, or if that is more stress to the transmission?
Lastly I'm in need of a new control arm bushing and ball joint, can i buy the whole kit and kabodle and avoid having to press in the ball joint?
Thanks
Ben
