sks40 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I have a '02 S40 1.9T with 5 spd auto with ~65K miles. I had the TCM / software update done that was realeased in Jan 2005 and made a big difference. It initially took care of the shift "Flare" and abruptness. However, now something seems not right now.Not sure if this is a transmission problem or what. Recently the drive train seems like there is a lot of slop. My first thought was motor mounts but I think they look ok. When I accelerate it feels like there is a delay (kinda like excesive gear lash) and abruptly starts to go. The kick down seems to have excessive delay then is very abrupt and seems to happen a little too easily. Sometime the engine revs high between up-shifts. Other times seems sluggish shifting. The tranny brain seems to have gone schizo on me.Any ideas?Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loseR99 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 sounds to me like your pnp switch (neutral safety switch) is going bad. I had similar symptoms before mine finally set off a check engine light and a blinking arrow. Replaced it last week and the car drives like new again.

I never would have guessed that one. Guess I don't understand how it factors into the control loop. How do you check it?Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
