I have recently purchased my first volvo . After wanting one for a while.
I have a 2006 V50 2.4i Automatic with 117000 miles

I have found a transmission problem but don't really know where to go with it
When driving at 60-70mph it's fine until I put my foot down.
Instead of dropping gear it seems to go into neutral for a moment then back into the original gear. Repeating this until I back my foot of. Creating quite an un-nerving experience for passengers and rubbish for overtaking.
Also when it changes from 2nd to 3rd it can make quite a jolt too.

Any suggestions as to what's wrong and possible fixes. Cheers
