Software mismatch after changing auto gearbox on 55 reg S80 D5

I have just changed the gearbox on my S80D5 Auto with an identical 55-50sn box from a V70 05 reg. problem is, transmission service message wont cancel and stuck in limp mode - also now showing engine service required message on occasions. specialist garage cant cancel pre existing fault codes - say only possible solution is Volvo dealer and then they might not be able to do anythng!

anybody else had this problem? and hopefully a solution that won't start with £100. bill just to see what the problem is!

There are three ecu settings? gearbox / main ecu / and center control, they all will need to be updated then a process called learning cycle which has to be reset by the technicians, then the car needs to be driven to adapt the new transmission.

How can I fix a Nissan liberty automatic not changing gears when it gets hot

Hi sad to say this gearbox requires valve body repairs ,replacement of dextron 3 ATF fluid and filter.clutches and friction plates should be checked replaced if worn.Torque converter should be checked out.If gearbox has electronic functions a diagnostic report should be done before stripping.A conventional auto gearbox pre 2000 model could be fitted with a external modulator switch causing present fault ,over powering the above mentioned faults.

I change my transmission in 1997 honda civic freio I change the cvt to a manual transmission andengine check light stay on what could cause that to happen

Check engine lights report faults in engine AND gear box(auto). If you have changed from an auto to manual gear box then the sensor system for the gearbox is recording a massive fault with the gearbox that you have to check out. Talk wit an accredited auto electrician as to how to neutralise the system so that the light only checks out the engine.

Thinking of buying a 1999 3L 24v auto Espace RXE

all renault automatic gearboxes are weak i find later boxes weaker than the older units the zf are no better, ive seen these fail at 25,000 miles and older boxes usually last for 60,000-80,000 miles but with such a powerfull engine i would suspect heavy where would occur especially if it has been used for towing or school runs where the box is working hardest changing up and down. ures will have the older gearbox. good luck remember 20 mpg tops lol...

Civic 92,auto gear box problem

There are no filters to change. If the fluid is brown or black in the transmission you should have it changed. If you have over or near 200k miles on your car you should consider getting a good used one with low miles, but should you call around and see if you can get a free inspection at a transmission shop first.
