It couldn't hurt. Give it a try.
The transmission may need a flush and filter, or in my 92 accord I solved the problem merely by changing the transmissions computer.
There can be several things that will an automatic transmission not to work properly. The most common cause is a lack of transmission fluid. Broken shifting linkage can also cause the problem.
It depends on what the problem is. From your question it is obvious you need to have it looked at by a professional.
Could be a transmission problem, assuming an automatic transmission.
If your car is making a grinding sound when changing gear the problem depends on whether or not your car has an automatic transmission. If your car has a manual transmission: 1. You may not be pressing the clutch down far enough when you change gears or there may be a problem with the clutch linkage. 2. The springs in the transmission separating the clutch plates may be weakening. 3. There may be another problem in the shifting mechanism. If it does not go away if you press a little harder on the clutch, have a mechanic look at it. If your car has an automatic transmission take it to the shop immediately and hope it does not break down on the way.
That indicates a problem with your automatic transmission.
The real problem is manually shifting from gear to gear with an automatic transmission. If you are referring to the automatic upshift, there may be a problem with the EGR system or vacuum system.
Most cars this is not a problem, the engines are identical.
If your Volvo is an automatic transmission try changing the fuel filter.
changing the fluid on the transmission if it already has a problem might make the problem worse. you probably dont need a whole transmission. the one you have is fixable. it would be necessary to take the vehicle to your nearest transmission shop for further diagnosis to determine if the problem is internal or external. They might tell you that the transmission would have to be removed from the vehicle in order to determin the problem. if so, most shops offer to do this at a reasonable price.
