Transmission problem, or is it?
2003 xc70 with 220, 000 miles
Transmision is completely slipping in both directions, and does not even hold in park. Thought tranny was done, or at least valve body, so I was going to sadly get rid of it.
After tossing around the idea of valve body removal and repair, I saw a number of threads that seemed to describe my issue, but those found a problem with one of the drive axles. This would be awesome news, as I enjoy this car and am proud to keep it going.
1. How would an axle problem cause my symptoms? It doesn't make sense to me, but if it is a $200 repair as opposed to $1200, then I am up for it.
2. How should I troubleshoot to check if this is indeed the problem? Is there a way short of pulling the axles out to check them?
Any help is appreciated. You guys have helped me keep it on the road for the last three years at least!
