Question

THANK YOU!

Answer
if it goes forward when you put in reverse and is not going in reverse when you put you have  trasmssion problem  dont worry it can be fixed it's little expensive but you can rebuild the trans for around $1500 parts and labor only at transmission shops  and at volvo dealer new trans is will around parts and labor $3500   or used trans maybe parts and labor $2500 if you around chicago  i can help you  but again take it to volvo dealer it is posible  you need maybe something else cheaper .
