What you don't know, is that the replacement transmission will probably actually be... a rebuilt transmission that had the same problems as yours. The problem is (and no Volvo dealer will admit) a worn transmission cannot be rebuilt exactly to the specs of a new one, and many rebuilds have quickly developed issues as well. If you pay that money, I would recommend you have the dealer clearly install a brand new, never used, never rebuilt transmission. Don't just look at appearances; a rebuilt will look as clean as a new one.
