I have a 2005 Volvo XC90 T6. I bought it in London used at 48k mi, imported to Kenya . I now have 57k mi on it. Just noticed the "Transmission Service Urgent" message. I went to a local foreign car auto shop. The scan revealed a "G3" issue. I imagine that was a gear 3 slip issue. The car still runs but i feel their my be some sluggishness at times. My reading of the blogs has my freaking out. A new tranny?? What is my solution. Is there not a repair that lasts? People are on their 3rd and 4th tranny's. What is this ECM issue and how is it related?

Hello and welcome to Justanswer.com my name is XXXX X'X a Certified Volvo Car Expert Mechanic.I'm going to try to help you find the help you need .
bad news is you have t6 and 90% of time all problems are inside transmission and will require new tranamission
sliping 3rd or 4th gear is sluggish indicates transmission clutches slipping forwhat you say it looks like a bad trans
best is for good price order new trans from usa and shipp to kenya last costumer had same problem and he order the trans from usa if you need help ordering i can find you help
What else needs to be replaced and how urgently should I replace it. As I said the sluggishness was almost unnoticeable but car seems to run fine. I know I have to replace it. But as a repalcement, am I not simply replacing a lemon with another. Is ita better product i would be buying? How large is the part.
Where is the green button. Don't see it.
There is NO ACCEPT BUTTON on my screen! Where is it?
Should I try to get the message removed each time? And how do I pay u. Dont see button
Wow! How is it costing 5000 for everything in blogs? How do I delete message. At shop?
I hear the new tranny may be too slow to reduce torque. True?Thanks!
Does it matter if I order from London/sweden or USA, and who should I do it with if in USA?
Please leave me your contact info. And lastly, can I expect more than say 6 months if I am easy on the car?
Thanks a bunch! Bye
