My transmission is weird
OKAY! My transmission shifts straight from 1st to 3rd, and I dont really notice 4th kick in, maybe it's 1st to 4th. I can't be sure. I checked codes and I pulled code 32 (vehicle speed sensor 1). would that sensor cause this? The guy I bought my svx from said the trans was only 10k on a new rebuild.

Nate,
Yeah, get that sensor replaced. The TCU is looking at engine speed and it's not getting the right signal. -Bill

Not SVX related but my Volvo TCU reads the tach and when that sensor went bad the shifting totally wacked out. OB1 code identified the problem and a $165 part later, + labor, and all is well. What I found interesting is the computer eventually went into limp home mode (soft, low rpm shifts). Sensor problems can make you feel the worst is happening.

Has anyone replaced it themselves? Can someone tell me where it is. Is it an external sensor in the transmission case(easy replacement), Or is it an internal sensor(pain in the a$$)?

external....I believe it's toward the front on the passenger's side of the trans.

I'll have to take a look tomorrow when it's light out. Anyone know where to get one on the cheap?
