While no help to you, it might be good to know that this seems to be common, that our tough, bulletproof transmissions also tend to shift somewhat hard under load. My 1990 744 with the AW70 automatic transmission has always done that. I think the Volvo engineers imagined people who accelerate much more sedately than most of us actually do. ;-)

I have learned to sort of shift with the pedal by getting the car up in the revs a bit and letting off to get it to shift. I have never heard of this being a problem.

Now, if it is just shifting hard all the time, even when you are accelerating gently, you probably need to flush your transmission fluid as per the method in the FAQ.

Good luck with this. I hope someone with a *real* answer comes along soon to help you. I just did not want your post to languish unanswered like a lot of mine have been lately.

Seems the brickboard RWD forum is slowly turing into an empty room of sorts. How sad for those of us committed to keeping our bricks running to the bitter end, heh, heh, heh...
