Moin together, I am the new one, although already a few days older and with some experience in relation to other brands, mainly BMW E32, E34, E38 and E39. We now have the Volvo 850 T5 station wagon, with which my wife has loved so long. A 95, from 2nd hand, with fresh TÜV and well-proven 235,000 kilometers, optically maintained, technically also. Otherwise we drive a 1995 BMW 750i and a Jaguar S-Type from 2003. And in both feel the shift previews In both saloons the gear changes are almost imperceptible, despite high running speeds (270 and 250K). And also the A6 Avant from 2007 with 310K on the clock, switches gently like butter. Previously only two 850ers with manual gearbox tested, with the 170 HP machine. I therefore lacked any comparison to the automatic transmission completely. The seller told me – yes, it is clear that he wants to sell me what – the switching processes in the T5 are always fast and smoother than in the Swedes tank. d also noticeable, he would have had more than half a dozen… Never change a running system, is my motto… In this respect, is it possible everything okay…. The gearbox generally does what it is supposed to do. Or is there something about which would be premature to look at? Am I spoiled and therefore too sensitive? Hope for factually sound feedback in the hope not to get rid of an endless discussion without a clear conclusion, which I also get from the BMW and the cat on the topic of transmission-oil/change/spülun g know 😉 Greeting and thanks in advance, Volkersson
