    My 1994 Volvo 850T about trans is not engaging beyond cold start limp mode. I have replaced the PNP switch twice and am wondering if shifting solenoids is my next stop or if there is an exterior problem I may have overlooked as I have never liked tranny work.

    At this point, with two PNP (neutral start) switch replacements, it is probably the best bet to have a replacement transmission installed. It is possible that you might add a bit of time to the ultimate replacement, but you are putting in good parts only waiting for them to go bad. Replacing S1 requires you to align it quite closely. You can find steps on the net and, ultimately S2, which does require dropping the subframe. Unfortunately, all of these fixes are bandaids as the tranny is likely damaged now. Instead, for your own peace of mind, it’s a good idea to replace the transmission. It is expensive, but you will be happier in the long run.
