Sunday as I was leaving the airport my car would pause when I stepped on the accelerator. As I drove on the freeway it got worse and eventually I had to pull over. It was acting like I was pressing on the gas and letting off - even though I wasn't. I checked the transmission fluid and it was totally empty. I went and got more transmission fluid and as I added saw it spurting out of the hose. To sum it up I just paid $240 to get the hose fixed yesterday and my car still is not driving right. If I start it - it goes into gear and drives for about 1 minute. Then I hit the gas and the RPM goes to 5 with no forward motion. So then I turn the car off and do this again. Is my transmission shot? Thanks

i own a repair shop,,and it may be shot, i have worked on a lot of Volvo,s,and they do have an issue with the one hoses going bad on them,and it if you don't find it in time it can damage the transmission on it,,its very possible that there is already some damage to it,,take it and have it checked out by a transmission mechanic and see what he says about it,,at least he can tell you for sure after he drives it,i wish you good luck with it,maybe this will help you some.

It probably was your hose at first.
There is something in the gear shift of Volvos that can affect that. Happened to mine once. It costs about $50 to replace. What make and model is it?
