unfortunately i also agree with TT on the 1st part , the volvo main dealers i have asked about getting it done either came out with the "sealed for life" or were plain Not interested/didnt want to do it /were not prepared to do it,, could be its a "regional" issue as im not Too far from TT, or as TT suggests, they realise there Could be a serious issue and dont want to go near it as "didnt do that before you touched it = your responsibility" either way a GOOD autobox Specialist , the correct ATF grade + amount for That box, without a "power flush" !! is never a bad idea.. age/milage/useage dependant Imho to the OP find a local to you Autobox specialist, explain what your experiencing, Check which grade ATF you need and get a cost to change it, do Not go for a "power flush" ! also worth trying Start the car, allow the engine to come OFF enrichment mode (rev's drop back to normal idle speed) THEN move gear selector from Park into Drive/Reverse as needed,, allows the atf to get flowing a little before being "needed/used" and Will cut down the initial "clunk/donk/jolt" from cold, also wont do the engine any harm as its at a temp where it Doesnt Need enrichment mode

How can something with a drain plug be sealed at all, never mind for life?
I asked Bells about this as my first XC90 neared 100k miles and they told me the Volvo do not have an official recommendation either way on the matter, but they would be happy to to do a change if I so desired. I did desire, so I handed over my cash and the job was done. It's hardly work making a drama over it.

To the OP -
Yes get the oil changed, that’s the first step, you can do it at home via a series of 3 or more “sump dumps”. Loads of threads on hear and YouTube - you don’t absolutely need Vida, just replace the exact quantity of fluid you remove, and when you’ve done the last one, check the level. You should also get it into a main dealer and get the TCM software updated - there is a software fix for this very issue and it often works.
