Overheating and hard shift
Help!! I've recently become the owner of a 2001
volvo v70 turbo. It has 113000 miles and what
I.thought was good condition. I got it from a
private seller. I test drove it about 4 miles, no
highway speed, and went well. Used ac drove nice.
I hit the highway to take it home along with the
a.c.going. About 7 mins into the drive the temp
gauge started climbing. I turned on the heater and
it slowly dropped. After getting it home we added
fluids and parked it. Next day I notice from 1st to
second shifted HARD and slow. At a stop the car
would lurch forward also idle rough. New tstat
finally put it still doing it. Lost a lot of coolant from
somewhere. The second.day after replacing tstat.
Have researched and read transmission and
overheating problems seem to be a trend with this
car. What symptoms do I look.for with bad tranny
and my overheating issue...next step replace water
pump. Thanks in advance guys.
