2003 Volvo S80 T6 - GM transmission noticed transmission shifting oddly but no codes. Codes came after climbing hill, took to Volvo dealer. Code (dtc) 0053 pressure switch lock up. Volvo says replace transmission. Software upgraded - did not fix. Declined. Transmission shifts oddly, car rev's and won't shift where it needs to causing trouble with acceleration and deceleration. There is a consistent problem with Volvo's early 90's GM transmissions.
