XC 60 Slipping out of gear

[Davycon]

Hello all. My 2013 2L D manual xc60 is slipping out of gear if I accelerate hard say on motorway. The gear shift indicator drops from midpoint to minus point while this happens. It only lasts momentarily and when I lift my foot off the accelerator it seems to return to the proper gear. It also happened the other when I was using cruise control and while it was accelerating. Other than that, the car is perfect. I'm reluctant to go delving into the gearbox as it doesn't cause a problem otherwise during normal driving. I'm a bit concerned overtaking though. Anyone come across this before? Thanks.

Sounds like your clutch is slipping ...
