Volvo transmissions need a software update, for shifting problems. The dealer sells the software, and then charges you again to install it. I have owned two 2002 V70XC. I have had good luck with Red Line ATF for Volvo spec.

Volvo considers these a no service item for the transmissions. They are a fill for life. They are very fragile, and I have heard those who changed the fluid, get the same problem you experienced. But those who have not done any transmission fluid changes, have not had issues. That being said, there must be something changing within the fluid itself, that keeps the higher mileage trannys lubricated, that the new fluid cannot do.

You removed the wrong bolt and disconnected the shift band.
