Suspect transmission problem

1998 Volvo S70
- no history of automatic transmission problems
Lately our car has started showing these symptoms:
1) When starting out the car seems to stumble (the feeling is similar to starting out on a slick surface) there is no racing of the engine as in usual transmission slippage
2) When idling the engine seems like it may stall out.
3) The symptoms occur at random and only occasionally.

Car does not display any misfiring of engine and automatic transmission level is ok. Car has approx 150,000 KM.

    I have a 2004 Mazda 3 which is @ 150,000km and I'm experiencing gear slippage and when the car is idling the engine sounds like its about to stall and does not. This occurs intermittently and goes away when I turn off the car and start it up immediately thereafter. My powertrain warranty does not cover electrical problems with the transmission what options do I have available to me to resolve this issue.

How to turn off traction control in 99 s70 volvo that has automatic traction

On my 1998 S70 there is a rocker switch next to the sunroof and back window and mirror heat below the tachometer on the right hand side of the dashboard. If you have no other way, remove the fuse from traction control on the the main fuse box under the hood on the drivers side. There should be a guide to which fuse is which on the lid of the fuse box.

Orange arrow flashing and transmission doesn`t switch from 3 to 4speed!

Either means it's in winter mode or has a faulty transmission. From your description I'd say your transmission is on its way out.

Hallo, we recently flushed our Automatic Transmission fluid on our 97' Volvo S70 T5 now the car wont start? Before we flushed the AT fluid the car started. Now nothing. What could be the problem?

Flushing the trans had little to do with your car starting ...

In the same manner one might say ice cream causes drowning ... because as the sale of ice cream goes up ... so too does the incidence of drowning ... so ice cream causes drowning ... right?

No ... people swim AND buy ice cream when it it hot ... no other relationship.

I might be wrong on this ... but I don't think so ... check your battery, your start solenoid ... your battery ground.
