I recently purchased a 2001 V70 XC that so far I am very happy with. It has one minor issue. After stopping, the car seems to drop into neutral while the brake is on. If I let off the brake it makes a very subtle jerk and is back in gear. The problem was much worse before I upgraded my etm to the contactless sacer, but is now still present but much less noticeable. I've also noticed that this seems to coincide with the speedo dropping to zero (usually around 5 km/h or less.) If I slide the shifter to manual mode (1st) gear this doesn't happen, It acts completely normal. Otherwise the tranny functions perfectly shifting much smoother than either of my 94 850 turbos!
Any suggestions out there? I just today drained and replaced 4 liters of tranny fluid and intend to do another couple drain and refills at 20km intervals.
One other thing: When I first got the car the abs/tracs (brake failure stop safely asap) error was appearing so I repaired the abs module and haven't had any issues with that since. Speed sensor? ?
