| 2003 volvo s80 t6 - gm transmission noticed transmission shifting oddly but no codes. codes came after climbing hill, took to volvo dealer. code (dtc) 0053 pressure switch lock up. volvo says replace transmission. software upgraded - did not fix. declined. transmission shifts oddly, car rev's and won't shift where it needs to causing trouble with acceleration and deceleration. there is a consistent problem with volvo's early 90's gm transmissions. | |||
