It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2006 Volvo V50 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

Questions About 2006 Volvo V50’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Volvo's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Volvo? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your V50 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my V50's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2006 V50’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Volvo. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Volvo V50 transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Volvo V50, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who can fix my  Volvo V50 transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for V50 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Volvo V50 if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your V50 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
