Hi volvorocks,

just to update you. i took the car to the local volvo dealer who confirmed the fault as described. they contacted their head office for advice and i received the following explanation. the issue described is a safely feature which eliminates the possibility of putting the car into reverse gear when trying to engage 6th gear. it is true that the 6th and reverse gears are located next to each other but is it the case that all volvoxc60 cars have this safety feature enabled? or do they use a different gearbox? the engineers in the same volvo garage removed the central console to further examine the issue but they were unable to improve or correct it.
kind regards
