The AW71L in my 940 used to do the same thing. I ripped out the valve body and replaced the check balls but it didn't make any difference. In my case it was the kickdown cable adjustment. It was too tight. This was despite being adjusted according to the volvo manual and the 700/900 FAQ. Loosening it off helped a lot.

If you're interested in tackling the valve body I made a website detailing my experience with the job. go to http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/~wightman.b/

Hope this helps
