check the colour of the transmission oil --it should be bright colour and not smell burnt
run the fault codes as it may be engine sensor problems or TCM problems
Unless the timing belt has been changed ,it is 20.000 miles overdue for a belt change ( big money repair)
( volvos s60 --30.l,s80/t63.0l/3.2l, v703.2l, xc60/t63.0l/3.2l,xc70/t63.0l/3.2l, xc90 3.2l) all run timing chains
Have an independent inspector check the vehicle over

Make sure your not in winter mode that would cause the car to start off in 2nd gear

you should take to the dealer the can properly diagnose and repair with proper parts.may just be due for service.
the transmissions on that model use very specific fluids in each unit.so generic oils will not due.
furthermore the cost of replacement for the trans is very high in just labor alone. not trying to scare you or promote a dealer just saying it needs factory attension with factory tools

All I know is that volvo does not replace shift solenoids anymore. I dont even think you can find that part. I used to work for volvo and the manufacturer would have us just replace the transmission. You can get a factory instruction manual from volvo. Its called a first edition manual. They are not cheap. It might be a good idea to bring to the dealer, just find get a second opinion.

had same problem about a year ago, took it to local dealer,came back with fault found imm235 + 303interface,they fitted new antenna ring, had no problems since.this was on a 2002 volvo c70.

could be transmission radiator, don't drive it or will ruin gearbox.
take to gearbox specialist, not diy job

i got an volvo s80 and today i got the message on dashbord like this TRANSMISION REQUAIRED SERVICE what its that ?any one can help ?

sale your volvo your not the first i have heard this from sorry for your bad luck with what used to be a very good auto! good luck!!

It is not unheard of for the transmission cooler to fail in such a manner that you end up with coolant in your transmission, and transmission fluid in your radiator.

If this just happened recently you can usually just replace the radiator and flush the transmission as you said and be fine.

However water/coolant is extremely harmful to the automatic transmission, it can cause the internal clutches to break down inside it and fail.

If it were my vehicle I would take my chances and get a new radiator installed and flush both the cooling system and the transmission, this will more than likely cure your problem.
