V70 auto transmission problem

Hi
yep already checked all levels in car including auto trans fluid
since posting have found that the selecto buttons located behind the gear lever
sports economy and winter selectors are sticking generally on the winter button and it is a job to free it when I do the car drives as it use to if I can't it is sluggish?

any thoughts please

If its stuck in winter mode then it will pull away in 3rd.

Hi Holly,

Check the transmission fluid level. Is absolutely essential. Refill
according to manufacturer's instructions. If it recurrs, try to find the
leak.

That was my first thought. The transmission is OK. If the WINTER
button is sticking, that is the problem. When in WINTER mode the car
starts in 3rd gear. It won't hurt anything, but is very irritating as
you have found out.
